The learning journey is largely shaped by an individual's sense of identity. However, to understand how this identity shapes the learning journey, it is essential to examine the different structures and themes associated with the term “identity”, such as gender, culture and social. Because these themes are constantly changing, thus affecting personal identity within the learning journey. This essay will focus primarily on the theme of cultural identity while reflecting on how my own learning experiences have shaped and changed my sense of identity. This will be done by examining my turning point and sometimes symbolic movement which was the migration from Uganda, a former British colony, and how this affected my learning experience and continues to alter my cultural identity. To put this into context, Hodkinson et al (2013, p39) recognize that “at a turning point, a person goes through a significant transformation of their identity”. In the same spirit of this transformation, the decision to migrate to Britain constituted a turning point described by Hodkinson et al (2013, p39) as “imposed on some, by external events and/or the actions of others” . On a personal level, my mother made the choice to bring me to Britain for a better education and the hope of future prosperity, but I often saw this decision as a factor of discontinuity in relations with the experience of different educational systems, linguistically, culturally and mainly different. In learning journey contexts, it is important to recognize that just as there is continuity, discontinuity and change in this journey; everyone's sense of identity is also evolving and can vary depending on the context of this learning journey.

In conclusion, the learning journey projects significant events that can positively or negatively affect the identity of a person and act as a catalyst for change and transformation is like choosing episodes from this life to question identity and explore various social, cultural and environmental constraints in order. to establish a coherent identity In this essay, I sought to show how my turning point and transformation took place. A significant event creates a sense of coherent and unified identity, but there are fractures in this identity while remaining. close to Hall's concept that identity is always changing and complex. My turning point, even if not the result of a rational and pragmatic decision I made, acted as such. towards the hybridity of cultures and this has shaped my habitus and my identity throughout my learning journey.
