Who is Eli?

My full name comes out to Eli Benjamin Holden, and I grew up in Durango, Colorado. Located in the Rocky mountains with a small-town feel. I have a few siblings, of three are girls and one brother. My older sister is 18 years old, and in the Marines, my younger sisters Jody and Chelsea are 13 and 8, and my brother's name is Jack, and he is 3 years old. Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding/skiing, soccer, basketball, hockey, skateboarding, and golf were all part of my typical Durango childhood. I continue to play hockey and golf in high school, while the other activities are more unscripted and come up in my spare time. But that doesn't tell you who am I, that's a harder question to answer. When do the things that we do become a part of who we are; is there a time requirement, maybe a skill requirement?  Is who we are an answer to be found in past actions or in one's intention? Or is who we are in the eye of the beholder? I like to interpret the question "What was Eli's life like" and from there people can make their own judgement on who I actually was.
