Question

Can you name a moment in your life that changed everything? Something that changed who you are today?
I am asking in relation to a college project based on identity and how significant moments can alter who we are. I am collecting anonymous answers and hoping to use them in my final piece. Thanks for your time and help!

Answer

For me it had to be this..... and you wont very often hear an American say this......brbrWhen Ronald Regan was elected president of the United States. What makes this different is.....brThat was when I knew that things were going to change for the worse, little did I know that it was going to more or less be a permanent thing.brWhile some peoples lives got better in the s, mine didnt get better it got worse and pretty much stayed that way despite my best efforts to adapt to the quotnew waysquot.
