Middletown, Pa.- Penn State Harrisburg senior, Joshua Johnson has excelled during his time here at PSH. Johnson has played guard for the men's basketball team since his freshman year and finished this past season as team captain.
He has played basketball since the eighth grade and was ranked as an all-conference and all-region player in high school. His most memorable moments throughout his athletic career during college are playing against Navy and hitting five consecutive threes at St. Mary's his junior year.
Johnson believes that stress is the most important societal issue that college students are facing today. "It is easy to get stressed due to the amount of work and time that students have to work with. It is even harder to handle if you are a student-athlete so always give all that you have so you will not have to live with any regret," said Johnson.
Aside from sports, Johnson is a member of SACC and is also a musician at his local church back home in Virginia. He notes Bishop William L. Bonner as the most influential person in his life outside of family. "When I was younger I went to a class called the Theology of Positive Thinking. The principles that he taught in that class years ago are the same principles that I live by today," said Johnson.
Johnson loves attending church and seeing his family and friends on a consistent basis. He believes that it is important to build a relationship with God at some point in life.
