Josh is a military brat, brother, son, and friend. Josh and I met in middle school where we had Spanish class together and he quickly became the class clown. Every day he would come in with a new joke ready to go and make the whole classroom laugh. Soon after his move to Belgium he moved to Japan where he felt like he could be more of himself. The class clown had become a part of who he is. So he had to figure out how to change the narrative of what a class clown should be while figure out who he wanted to be moving forward. This is his story as a Dandelion.

After graduating high school Javonte felt like he had to rush into the next chapter of his life. Which lead him to becoming a solider in the United States Army.
