Public Insight Network

What has changed your life?

At OPB, we're always looking for good stories. And often the best stories are about things that have shaped a person's character or changed their life in some way.

With that in mind, we'd like to know: What has changed your life, for better or for worse?

What has shaped your character, changed your opinions, changed your worldview, or influenced your life in some other way?

Was it someone you knew? A mentor, a loved one, an idol or a hero?

Or is there an event that changed you? An opportunity you took or one you missed? A risk you took or a mistake you made?

Positive or negative, tell us about the things that have shaped your life.

Tell us a story about something or someone that has changed your life:

What effect did this person, event or idea have on your life?

How would your life have been different without the influence of this person, event or idea?

What else should we know about this subject?

Now, we have a few questions that will help us better understand your perspective. None of this information is required, and all of it will remain private to the newsroom. In what year were you born?

What do you do for work?

What is your household income?

What is your race or ethnicity?

We ask for some information about you so we can contact you if we have questions. We will not share your personal information outside the newsroom.
