If a different sperm hit your mothers egg.would it still be you?

Everyone is saying just remember you were a sperm that one a race with all the others. But isn't the sperm just some of your genes and chromosomes, if a different sperm hit the egg first, would you still be you or would it be a different person?

    Well siblings aren't identical clones of one another are they?

    You would be different. Cells undergo meiosis and homologous chromosomes are arranged randomly during the process.
