Profiles of Courage
JOSH WOLF
Hi, I'm Josh. I live at home with my parents and my sister on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I am a friendly, funny, outgoing and enthusiastic person! I love sports, dancing, geography and the weather channel.
I graduated from high school a year ago.
I have been in a job training program for the part year to improve my skills as a mail room clerk. I have already been a mail room clerk at my summer camp, and at a local college. I like the mail room, it is fun. I get to look up all the places where the mail comes from, and all the places that it is going.
I love geography. I love to look up places in the Atlas. I am a big fan of the weather channel and I like to find the places discussed on the weather channel.
The mail room job is perfect for me because I learn more about geography. I move around all day and I sort and put things in order, which I love.
After graduation I became employed in a mail room that serves the Goldman Saks Office Complex in lower Manhattan. A person in my Synagogue wrote a recommendation to help me get a job. He remembers my enthusiam during my Bar Mitzvah.
Yes, you heard me. To the surprise of many people, I completed the requirements for and participated in my Bar Mitzvah at my Synagogue. I memorized many of the songs, prayers, and Hebrew and I sailed through the service! I was so excited because I did so well. It was the first time I ever spoke in front of alot of people, and everyone was so happy. People said such wonderful things to me. People never cheer during services, but everyone was cheering that day! It was one of the best days of my life!
I also have earned the 6th belt required of a Tae Kwan Do master. I am a member of a Tae Kwan Do School on the Upper West Side. The whole place works together to help me earn my belts. I was amazed that I broke the board to earn my last belt. I was shocked, I couldn't believe it! Everyone cheered. It is a great feeling to belong to this group and be invited to all the great parties too.
I also love to travel, to take long trips with my parents, and also I use the subway, city buses, and regional railroads on my own.
I am a very enthusiastic person!!! Sometimes people don't even understand me because I am so eager and so excited. Fortunately, the people closest to me understand and appreciate me.
When I think about the future, I would like to have a nice apartment, to make more money, to have a girlfriend and a cool car.
