The earliest memory I can recollect was from when I was about two or younger. Back then I lived in Maryland by this huge lake/pond. There were turtles in the pond, medium-sized green ones with small red eyes and black pupils. My earliest memory is of staring into the eyes of one such turtle.
The fact that I was so impressed and fascinated with this creature was what made this moment so memorable for me.
I feel as though I can relate to my younger me; my personality and identity are the same as when I was younger. I just know a bit more about the world and have adjusted accordingly, but I still have the same way of thinking about the world.
