“So I wanted to know more about God and know what He’s done for me in my life,” Josiah Gray, a freshman, remarks when asked about his spiritual journey. His time at WC has played a big part in his spiritual and mental growth. Josiah has been a WC warrior since first grade; though, he originally planned to go to Tree of Life. He went for half of the first grade before deciding to switch and retake first grade. His home church is Columbus Christian Center. He enjoys spending time with his three brothers: Sharif, a freshman at Wright State, Jordan, a WC 8th grader, and Jevon, a WC 6th grader. When he has free time, he plays soccer and hangs out with his friends. Due to his interest in biology, Josiah plans to study health care.
Faith is very important to Josiah. He admires the amount of effort and attention teachers put into their students, and he cherishes the knowledge about God that he learns in his Bible and science classes. Because of the way our school prioritizes faith, Josiah decided to become a Christian so that he could live out what he was learning. His family deeply values Christianity and pushes Josiah to pursue his faith through his studies.
Through various teams and opportunities, Josiah has been playing soccer for six years. For seventh and eighth grade he played for our middle school team and is proud to now be a part of our high school soccer program. This year he and his fellow freshmen were recognized as one of the best ninth-grade teams. He also likes working at a summer camp for Columbus Academy, as it allows him to mentor other kids and help the community.
Josiah hopes to follow in the footsteps of his mother and brother and work in the medical field. The complexities of the human body fascinate him, and he hopes to understand the inner workings of life. He aspires to help others and save lives. When he isn’t studying or playing soccer, he spends his time watching medical shows on tv. When he walks into biology to see a dissection setup, he knows the class will be great. While he wishes he could be learning more, he values the science classes offered at WC.
Josiah is a hard-working student with great aspirations. It will be interesting to watch his growth through the years, as he pursues faith and knowledge in order to further the kingdom of God. Whether it is a soccer game or science lab, Josiah works hard to do his best.
