Based on this quote, I think that Pip is referring to the first time he ever encountered Miss Havisham and Estella, and became aware of his status on the social ladder, and ever since has been dissatisfied with his life and the way it is going. This day altered him because it was the day that he decided to become a gentleman, mostly because he has wanted to win the heart of Estella. Pip's character has developed in the sense that he has become more mature, more aware of his current state in life, and has increased his desire to better himself by taking direct action.
The one day in my life that made me become the person I am would probably have to be the day my math teacher recommened me for a higher level math class then I expected. Beforehand, I was struggling at math and a few other areas in school, and was stuck in a never ending cycle of thinking I was never going to get better at any of them. By that time, I started to dedicate myself over the summer, getting tutors and other things, and going into all of my classes with a positive attitude, and as a result, I have gotten better grades over the past semester then I had ever gotten in middle school, and has made me a much happier person.
