There's this girl I know, a girl who has always railed against bullies. When she was 2, she stared down a bull. A couple kids threw her brother's hat into the bullpen at the neighboring farm and she went in after it. The bull came charging but she just gave him that look. He stopped and she got the hat. Then when she was 4, she bit a bully's back. He had just gotten her brother in trouble for some oil spilled behind the garage that she knew the bully had done, so the little girl retaliated. At 5, she was suspended twice for beating up bullies. The first time, "little girls don't hit little boys over the head with metal lunchboxes", even though he was stealing her brother's milk money ... the second time "little girls don't kick little boys in the shin with metal toed shoes", even though he was a foot taller and cutting her in the tetherball line. It's like the little pipsqeak never had a chance. Well, that little girl grew up, always railing against bullies.
One day, a bad bully picked on her mother. It was a blood clot, felling her Mom like an arrow through the heart. Her mother lived, but the little girl changed her allegiance from the picked on brother to her defenseless mother, helping Mom to write again, to add numbers, to read simple sentences. It took a long time but finally the little girl, who was now a woman, was done. Mom may not have been cured, she may not have been who she started off life as, but she was as whole as one could get.
So that little girl who railed against bullies decided to rail some more ... she became a teacher. She fixed little boys fast on the road to becoming bullies. She taught kids to read. She helped kids write. One day, it simply wasn't enough -- the little girl needed more of a challenge. So now the little girl who railed against bullies is teaching teachers how to teach. She still takes her Mom to doctor's appointments, she still helps little boys not become bullies, but more than that, the little girl grew up knowing just who she was and what her strength was. She no longer bites backs or hits people over the head with metal lunchboxes - but the little girl railing against bullies does it with her fingers on a keyboard. And that is how the little girl still rails against bullies.

Use the reverse: I once wrote an eassy using the phrase "I don't want the world to know..." over and over. This is a technique used all over. This is kinda sarcastic since the essay is telling the "world" all the things that you say you don't want then to know but actually do. This worked very well for me. I got the highest marks AND won an essay contest with it. You can also get very deep with it and be very poetic. If it's done right, an easy A.
i.e. "I don't want the world to know about my passions -- only that I have them. I don't want the world to know how deep the vains of anger run deep into my mind and I don't want the world to know that I am imperfect. That I cannot fill every soul's cavity or slake every thirst's decadency. I don't want the world to know..."
Hope this works out for you.

Perhaps you could start it something like this (keep in mind I'm using my own characteristics here)
Who am I, really? I think there are many answers to this question. I am someone that can find humor in just about everything, so I am 'Light Hearted'. I am also someone that likes to analyze my feelings, the behaviors of people around me; in essence I like to find the deeper meaning in things, so I am 'Deep'.
Don't know if this helps any but I gave it my best shot.

you ought to start it of like, "what happens if a country won't help its human beings?" then you certainly get assorted suggestion on how George Bush did not help the community government whilst Katrina hit. that fool waited 3 years in the previous he did something.

For you it would start with:
I am not very intelligent. I have to ask total strangers on the internet how to write an essay about who I really am. In essence that makes me a cheater. I hope someday I will learn how to express myself, but at this time I am not a person of strong character and have a heck of a lot to learn.

You could start with somewhat of an alliteration. you know?
i am (the one people ask for help). I am (the shy one in the corner). and say a couple things like that in the intro,
then go back and explain.

Who you are is your personality, your aspirations, your qualities, etc. Your teacher is just asking that you don't mistake "who you are" for "what I've done" so it might be best if you start by talking about how other people see you.
