Right On Track.

Right On Track.
By Christine Parisi, ENGL 336



Whether he’s writing poetry, listening to indie rap, or installing air conditioners, Joshua Matthew Van Horne is living life to its fullest! Van Horne was born on June 8th, 1988 in Brooklyn MD. He will be graduating from Frostburg State University this spring with a Bachelors degree in English and a concentration in creative writing.
 “I’m the jack-of–all-trades”, Van Horne tells me in our interview. “I do a little bit of everything”. Van Horne considers himself to be very outgoing; however he would not have been able to say that four years ago. After high school graduation Van Horne decided to jump on the college bandwagon. His first two years were personally educating for various reasons, one of them being his dismissal from FSU. After many long, and heated months of installing and repairing air conditioners for his family’s business, Van Horne decided he was ready to give college another try. Four years later this extremely passionate, humble, and thankful person stands before you all.
Van Horne would love to do anything in the creative filed, whether it is making movies, or writing a book. His listed his most inspirational movies as Reservoir Dogs, Friday, Lost in Translation, True Romance, and Rushmore. Van Horne also mentioned that he would love to travel one day.  If possible he would visit Asia, preferably South Korea, or Japan. He also emphasized on his "love" for Canada: “I have a weird love for Canada, I don’t quite understand it”. When asked about his biggest fear in life, Van Horne responded with a non-typical answer. “I fear not living up to my full potential”. He is without a doubt a very hard working and humble person. In another life Van Horne said he would be dating Scarlett Johansson and driving a 2013 Cadillac CTS. However, this life is what truly matters and Van Horne seems to be handling it perfectly! After getting to know this wonderful young man, it is hard to imagine his future as being anything other than the best!
