My earliest memory dates back to when I was 3 or 4 years old. I was living in the Fiji Islands at the time, and my memory is of being at one of the beaches with my family. I remember there was a long strip of sand with palm trees scattered around. I also remember my dad holding my hand and leading me into the shallow water. I don't believe there is anything extraordinary about this memory that causes me to remember it, but the general serenity and hapiness of the situation causes it to remain imprinted in my mind. I can't remember what my personality was like at that age, but I have to assume that it has changed significanly from that time.
