So i have to write a two page narrative essay on an "event that formed my identity"..my question is...what does that even mean?

Una narración de un momento en el que hayas descubierto quién sos o quien podes llegar a ser

Explanation:

Por ejemplo: cuando te diste cuenta que eras homosexual (es solo un ejemplo)

Who are you today? What shaped you into who you are? It could be a traumatic event that makes you stronger, a school/work promotion that gave you confidence, anything like that!

It's basically just a personal experience that made you the way you are now (How you think, what you feel, your identity [gender, sexuality, etc] and so on!)

I hope this helps a little bit lol

obama was told in early july 2004 that he was chosen to deliver the address, and he largely wrote the speech himself, with later edits from the kerry presidential campaign.
