I think my earliest memory was when I was five years old and it was the first day of kindergarten. I remember going into the wrong class because my friends made me go into their kindergarten class instead of my own. I then remember how me and my friends were all shocked when we finally realized that I wasn't in the same kindergarten class as them. It was a very sad day.
I actually don't feel a continuous from my past self. I think the farthest back I can think of and still feel like me is when I was in middle school.
This memory may have been particularly memorable because my memory was about my first day of kindergarten and the start of school. I think that my personality is similar to the me thirteen years ago but obviously, I've changed over time.

My memory is very similar in the fact that both our memories are from kindergarten and I can agree with you that emotionally I have changed over time and I am similar to who I was back then but I have definitely changed in some ways.
My memory is similar in the fact that mine was the first time experiencing something. I fee like when someone experiences something for the first time it sticks with them easier. I also agree that I'm similar to who I was but I have definately changed from my experiences.
My earliest memory is similar to yours because mine is also about the first day of kindergarten. I agree that it would be particularly memorable because of it being a new experience and emotionally difficult. I also agree that over time one's identity changes.
