I think that my earliest memory is going to the San Francisco Zoo with my parents and grandparents. I dont know if this is actually my earliest memory because its difficult to determine my age. My grandparents visited when I was 3 as well as when I was 5. My guess is that we went to the zoo when I was 3. The particular event I remember was getting lost because I let go of my mothers hand. The fact that I got lost is probably why I remember this particular event rather than other events.
I do think that 3-year-old me is the same person as the person I am now. Although I cannot remember the events that occurred at that age, it was I who made decisions. My personality may have been different, but my identity was and still is the same. I think that I have merely evolved into who I am today.
