I wonder how life has changed me? Certain events-like a costly fire and conscious awareness-like determination to start a certain career, as well as calculated game plans-like college. Not perfect examples, but they'll do for now.
What about intentional changes, vegetarianism, tattoos, ear piercings? Those too change us and how we are perceived by and interacted with by the world. How about unintentional changes like car accidents, injuries and/or rape? What about jobs, clothing, sleeping patterns, partners, intentional or unintentional children? Human change can have infinite sources and causes.
What is the unaltered original? A valuable commodity in any marketable item, cars, antiques, but what about people? Can a person be an unaltered original beyond the age of say, five? Unlikely. Fifteen-highly unlikely, so, which changes were part of the grand design? Crawling, walking, eating, talking-that's good for a start. Educated? To what extent and in which fields? No, doesn't meet the criteria, too many variables.
What then is the unaltered original you?
