If you were given the assignment to answer the question who am I how would you even start to answer it?

Question

Obviously noone can answer the question for me but how would you even start of format an essay like that?

Answer 1

you can probably start by writing who you thought you were, but after some ephiphany, you now know who you really are. then start writing about that...

Answer 2

This is how I started mine when I had to write it last year......

I have long sat and pondered the question, just who am I? How do I define something as intrinsic as a value? How do I make that definition one that others might understand? I have looked at this numerous ways, and yet I find myself lacking an answer. How do you define something that directs everything you do, every decision you make, when you have no idea who you are? I have even tried approaching this from the question “what kind of person do I want to be?” as opposed to “what kind of person am I?” And while it makes sense that if I am trying to live up to an expectation I have of myself, the implication is that my values are similar to those I’m trying to reach, at least that’s what you would think.

Answer 3

well, there is the country song

I might start with a sentence like:

I am the product of my ancestry, my upbringing, and my choices

i could then do a little paragraph about my parents or grandparents or heritage or ethnic, and then a little paragraph about my families culture, what I was taught to believe in and value, what I was taught was important, and finally finish it off with a nice little paragraph how in the end the what I believe and do and is my choice regardless of all those influences that contributed

i used to be pretty good at cranking out these essays

i always tried to jam three good points into the theme sentence near the start of the essay and then the rest usually flowed

if you don't like my three, figure out three influences that help make you who you are and run with it

good luck

Answer 4

I would start out like this:

The circumstances of my life have determined who I have become. Who am I? I am a 31 year old woman. I am the daughter of 2 loving parents. I am an only child. I am also grateful to be alive and healthy. Etc.....

You get the picture.

Answer 5

use "communique starters" which incorporate "what's your widespread song" or "which action picture is greater appropriate" etc. that's going to be an undemanding question that could open up a great style of doors. i asked a woman i admire what her fav song became and then we've been given on approximately miley cyrus and taylor rapid and black eyed peas and all that stuff. we talked perpetually. i deleted 7 finished inboxes lol (I even have limitless texting) this works perfect. no longer something flirty, no longer something stupid, purely a question.

Answer 6

First I don't know you so I have no idea who you are.
But you could start by saying:
My job or ambition in life is to_________
(Then go on to explain your feelings as to why you prefer such and such a profession. for example: My ambition is to be a scientist. I want to find a cure for arthritis - or some such thing)
Add things like any classes you have taken to assist you in this, any special experience such as you were always intersted in helping people or how you hate to see them suffer ect.
One thing I took away from compostiton class was never to start a sentece or compostion with "I am" My teacher would always say "We know that much, know tell us something we don't know"
Through the assignment say things like people say (your name) it'll never happen
but I think it won't happen if I don't try.
You could add things like 'next year in my last year of high school I plan to take such and such courses' (all I planned to do was pass the class)
and this tells people how old you are (about) without you saying it.
Use adjectives and adverbs to give your readers a real picture of what you want.
Such as I Dream of one day being the first scientist to find a cure for arthritis..
Say things like "I have seen the effects of this painful affliction on people and my heart goes out to them. I dream of making them more comfortable"
Be careful NOT to repeat yourself during your compostion or speech. Teachers don't like this. Even if your target audience doesn't mind, the teacher is the one grading you on this.
Hope it helps!

Answer 7

Start by brainstorming. Write down every possible way of answering this question.
For me, my list would look something like this:
I am a: Sister, tutor, helper, aunt, friend, computer user, student, daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, veteran...
I like: watching movies, learning things, helping people...

Ask your parents and siblings (if you have them) and friends to help you brainstorm. Once you have completed your list, you can put things into catagories and start writing about how each of those things are a part of you.

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

Like this...
My name is Jane. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend etc.. blah blah. The most important of these roles to me is... blah blah.

The best thing about me is .. blah blah blah.

The thing I need to work on most is.. blah blah blah.

At the end, the last sentence should again be.. My name is Jane.

Answer 9

I would begin by stating that "I am a work in process. I am not yet complete and only know myself in part." Then I would describe what I do know about myself.

Answer 10

No one can know who they are without first understanding where they came from.

Talk about your family, culture, heritage, values, politics, special things that are different than the norm.

Answer 11

I'd start off with something snappy like:

"So, you want to know who Jim Jam is. Well, I'll tell you. I'm a little bit Downs, a little bit rock and roll..."
