“How would your best friends describe you?
I’m like an innocent rabbit hopping in the forest.”

I was thirteen when I had my first interview for a summer program at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. I was ambitious and certain that I was going to be accepted with my charisma and accomplishments. Successful? Not quite.

You would think most incoming high school freshmen would have a sense of maturity and professionalism. Unfortunately, I did not fall into that pool of students. I stumbled to the front of the room with my business formal attire and completed what I called the ‘interview handshake.’ The fact that it was nice and firm assured me that I was definitely doing well.

After the game the opposing coach came up to me and asked if I wanted to join an AAU team and at the time I didn’t know what that was. He gave me his number and I learned that AAU was a league for really good basketball players.

The balloons are out, the flowers are in bloom, I smell summer. I smell a summer like no other. Not because the groundhog came out early this year, or because I was one year older, but because I was a graduate, from Gilkey International middle school (finally). Sophie comes up to me yelling, super excited for the night ahead, graduation. As we rehearse our ceremony, in our high inched heels and dainty fake eyelashes Charlie runs up behind us screaming in our ear jumping us out of our own skin.

The transition from childhood to adulthood occurs when an individual is able to recognize the impact he or she can leave upon their community, gaining life skills doing so. An accomplishment that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood, would be best demonstrated by the process and completion of a leadership responsibility when I performed my Eagle Scout Project. I joined the scouting program when I was very young, and have been very active since ever. Becoming an Eagle Scout has many challenges that a young Boy Scout must undertake, including the completion of a community-based project, which is an important step in obtaining this notable rank. The Eagle Scout Project is designed for the scout to learn different leadership responsibilities.

For all of the summer simulations, I was able to come on time and maintain a professional behavior with my peers and patient. For communication, I find myself being confident and relaxed compared to how I felt at the beginning of the summer simulation.

For this week I would give myself a score of 4.

At my high school, the Beta Club is the most elite, respected, and prestigious club.

Most people today do not like to rise up to the ever-growing challenge of leadership. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good leader, and the Beta Club has greatly helped me in doing so.

I reached out to my high school’s summer school program last summer and volunteered as a tutor for the majority of the summer. There, I tutored in various subjects in math to summer school students, helping a lot of students pass their required coursework.

Called the Summer Academy, the summer school program was designed to help new immigrant students receive an academic boost before the school year began. I was able to ease the learning process by helping several students by conversing in a language they were fluent in, Somali.

Additional evidence in support of Petrine authorship includes the acceptance of the letter by the early church. Sproul states that the “epistle was received in the very earliest times of Christian history, in the middle of the first century, as having come from Peter.” This is supported because some of the early church fathers made use of the letter which indicates their recognition of and acceptance of its source. If they doubted its source, it would have been natural for it to be rejected but “there is no evidence that anyone in the early church believed that the letter was written by anyone other than Peter.” John MacArthur while upholding Petrine authorship of the letter because of the attitude of the early church quoted the fourth century
