Answer: An event that shaped your identity might be an experience where you discovered something about yourself that led to how you are now.

Explanation: An athlete might have a game-winning score that led you to keep developing in the sport.

A teacher might have encouraged you to develop a hidden talent.

Births, deaths or another event in your family may have changed the direction of your life.

Travel or participation in an assembly or conference may have inspired you to do something that shapes your identity.

I hope this gives you some ideas.

Things people are identified by:

Name, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, appearance, education, age, upbringing/childhood, money/class, political beliefs..

You can talk about any of those, about events that happened linking those points. Ex. Age could be about being a teenager and how that makes your identity. For nationality i would write about events that point out from where I am from. Or you could talk about when you maybe found out your sexuality and how that shapes you today and makes you you. Include loads of anecdotes.

Hope that helps :)
