admission essay: experiences or achievements that helped define you as a person

I need help to start my essay or tips how to start my essay.

I have an idea to start it like this: I always question myself "who am i?"

is it good???

because I want to feature my experience wherein I learned who am I as a person because of one mistake in my life...

Here is my idea :))

Whether it is first love, loss of a person, getting a master degree, or an unforgetable trip, all of us have experienced something that helped define us as people. As far as I am concerned, my lifestory include two/three (it depends on you) experiences (achievements) which influenced my character and made me the person I am.

Firstly ...

Cool! This is going to be a good thread. Yes, I like the idea for the topic, and I like the idea from summer breeze3.

It is a little too common to write about the question "Who am I?" but you can write about it in a unique way. Write about it with different words, like "I am a _______."

Answer the question with your title:
I am __________

Here is an excellent sentence:
I learned who am I as a person because of one mistake in my life.
