Class of 2011 Senior Rep Josh Root

Let me tell you just how captivating Josh is. He is a senior at Prescott High School and spends much of his time in the water. Josh is on the swim team and plans to go to college with the swim team. He is exploring Grand Canyon University. He also spends his time at the local YMCA as a life guard and teaches swim lessons to 4 & 5 year olds. Music is a love for Josh and he jams on his bass guitar and sometimes piano. The thing that drew me to Josh the most is his endurance. You see, one of Josh's passions is longboarding (if you are anything like me you will google what that is. It is a long skateboard used mainly for speed). This past year Josh had a very serious accident while longboarding without his helmet. After some scary weeks, he was blessed to have recovered. He spent the rest of the school year last year at home. So this year Josh will be doing double duty to get all of his classes in and swimming and working. All of this is with a smile on his face. What a fun guy to be around.
The longboarding photo taken below was Josh's first time on a longboard since his accident (I made him go very slow). Enjoy!
