Your approximate age at your earliest memory: I think I may have been seven years old.
Where there extraordinary circumstances which make it particularly memorable? It was my birthday, so I remember it better than I would any other regular day. I was running on Locust Lake in the Poconos doing cartwheels on the beach as my father was taking pictures of me. Is your personality or identity the same now as it was then? I think I am still the same person, just an older version. I am definitely still as bubbly and crazy as I was when I was seven. Any other particularly interesting information: there are many pictures taken on that day, so maybe I feel that some of the memory I have may be due in part to photographs I have. Then, COMMENT on someone else's post. You may bring up a similarity or difference to your own earliest memory or relate part of the post to something you have learned in the course so far.
I feel the same as you about you're assessment of how the current and past versions of you relate to each other. I also feel like I am much the same as my younger self. Although I have matured, I still identify greatly with the earliest memories of myself
If you've got photographs, is it really a memory? Also, it's interesting that you were seven years old. Most of these posts are of memories from pre-school or kindergarten (much younger than you).
My memory was also a special day, the first day of school, and I think the unique circumstances helped me remember it more clearly. However, how can you be sure that you actually remember it as opposed to knowing what it was like because of the pictures? Do you remember something about that day that was not captured on camera?
