Think of an event or an experience you have had that turned out to be life changing in some way.

This may be something that you only later came to realize had significantly changed your life, or it may be a situation that you immediately recongnized as life changing when it happened.

Explain what happened, how you reacted, and why you reacted the way that you did, as well as both the immediate and the long-term significance of this event. In other words, why did your life change, how did it change, and what did you learn from this event?
