Josh says, "Greetings! My name is Joshua Pak and I am a Senior attending Polaris K-12. I am passionate about law, especially restorative justice, and I believe that everyone is deserving of a second chance. During the winter, you can probably find me cross-country skiing and during the summer, you can definitely find me fishing for salmon. If you would like to present at a Bar meeting, we'll make it happen!"
