I’m not your typical eighteen-year-old that you would find in Perry County. I’m not a farmer, but I do enjoy nature. I don’t like to get my hands dirty. I’d rather sit in front of a computer for eight hours a day then go outside and do yard work. I enjoy the company of my friends and enjoy making them laugh. I’m a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and an avid computer programmer. Unlike a large partition of the people in Perry County, I am not a religious person. I do not believe that God put us on this earth. I wouldn’t call myself atheist, but rather agnostic, which means that the existence or non-existence of any deity is unknown and possibly unknowable. However, I do believe that humans were put onto this earth for a reason. I believe that we have a purpose and that we control our own destiny. It is for that reason that Gandalf the Grey’s quote from The Lord of the Rings means so much to me: “All that we have to is decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.” We (humans) were given this opportunity (life) to do something. We, and only we, choose if we are successful or not. The title on the front cover, “The Life & Lies of Justin Adkins” is a reference to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the that Rita Skeeter wrote a book about Albus Dumbledore after his death entitled, “The Life & Lies of Albus Dumbledore.” This shows to me that like all other humans that I am flawed. While most students would say this project is to annoy us and to be a major pain in the butt, I, of course, disagree. After learning about Mr. Booth, and his positions on life, I can tell that there is a much bigger reason behind this project. I feel this project was designed to guide us into a greater knowledge of ourselves before we venture out into the world. With these deep topics that we have to write about, we get an inside look at our logic process and ourselves. Another reason why this project may have been assigned is so that we can have something to look back on in the future. You gather with our spouse and children, reading these entries it might help your children understand their parent more or even help you connect with your younger self. It’s often said that people change over time. By looking back on this, you would be able to tell just how much you have changed, or if you’ve really even changed at all for that matter. All-in-all, I may hate this project at the moment, but down the road, when it is in its finished form, I’m sure I will come to appreciate it and the memories that it carries. Prologue 2 Senior Portfolio • • • What’s in a Name? Justin Micheal Adkins. I am named after the middle name of my father, and my middle name is that of a baby my great-grandmother had who passed away. However, my middle name is spelled differently than the traditional Michael. I’ve always thought about changing my middle name to the correct spelling because I am never able to actually remember how to spell it. In the end, I decide against it, because the miss spelling of my middle name is something that makes me unique. According to Ancestry.com, the surname of Adkins is English and around 1920, Adkins was mostly found in Kentucky and West Virginia. My great-grandparents were from Kentucky and then moved to Canton, OH before finally moving in Columbus, OH. Justin which means “Just and fair” is also English. However, I move away from the English names with my middle name, Micheal which means “Who resembles God?” Other possible names for me included Michael (as a first name), Tyler, Gage Alexander, Paul Justin Jr., Tyler Michael, Donovan and Isabella and Tatiana if I was a girl. I wouldn’t have minded Paul Justin Jr., but in the end, I’m happy with my name. I’ve never really had any problems with my name, I’m happy with it. The only time that I get slightly annoyed is when someone is talking and they say “just.” My ears usually perk right on up because I think they are going to say Justin. I believe that the descriptions of “Just and fair” fit my personality. I try to be fair in my actions and decisions and I try to be true to my upbringing and my sense of right and wrong. What’s in a Name? 3 Senior Portfolio • • • All-purpose excuse Dear Mr. Booth, I would like to once again apologize for my tardiness to your class on the eighth of this past April. While I can honestly say that I told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it. It was the first warm day that we have had in a very long time. The weather was a rather warm 50 degrees when I woke up around 6. The sun was just starting to come up. The chickens were roosting on the fence. However, I was still rather tired. I judged the amount of time it would take to get to school, and concluded that it wouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. So, I got dressed and went back to sleep. I awoke just in time to grab my book bag and get into my car and drive off. However, with my lucky I should have known that my plan wouldn’t have gone without errors. I went to start my car and low-and-behold,

Traditionally, communication devices did not allow for secure communications. It relied on users to say we're going to enable these things as an afterthought. But the users had to know to do that. Well, Apple has said we're going to secure the device for you a little bit. So, the VPN feature within iOS is always on by default. And so, when my phone connects to a Wi-Fi network, when my phone-- when I send emails, for example, that VPN technology is going to protect my communication over that Wi-Fi, over Page 2 of 7 that wireless network and prevent eavesdropping and modification of my data. Now, another feature that we have is activation lock. Theft of smartphones has been a booming area of crime over the last couple of years.
