Hello, my name is Lee Riches. I currently attend Hatboro-Horsham High School. I am in 11th grade and expect to graduate next year in 2012. I am involved in many activities at school; such as sports and clubs. I play football and I run spring track for our school. I am also in three clubs which are Helping Little Hands, Hatters Inc., and Interact. I also participate in our schools annual Red and Black week. Red and Black is a friendly competition in the school. The first half of the alphabet, A-K, is on black team and the second half of the alphabet, L-Z, is on Red. Throughout the week of Red and Black a series of competitions take place, where students from each team compete against each other to gain points for their team. There are events that take place alone during the middle of the school day like ping pong, the culinary (baking) competition, and the academic bowl (team jeopardy). Then we also had additional events added this year such as, Wii bowling, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Semi-Ball. Then there are three big gatherings where a number of events are completed. These gathering are Pool Night, The Field events, and Gym Night. Pool Night usually takes place on thursday night, the night before gym night. All the events that the sudents compete in are in the pool. There is the Running On Water Event, where people run on mats across the water to a designated finish line. There is also a relay. Another event is Queen of the Innertube. That is where girls are in innertubes and they try to knock the other team members out of there innertubes, withoutbeing knocked out of their own. Also there is men's and womens Jousting on water. Those are the main events of Pool Night. Then the field events take place, on a half day, on friday. This consists of men's and women's standing long jump, shuttle race (suicides), a Free Throw contest, a push up contest, and a soccer dribbling contest (new addition this year). Then the week is finished with gym night. This has several events that childeren, parents, students, and staff enjoy. The gym is wonderfully decorated with several posters, as that is also a compeition. Then the night begins with an obstacle course, and then there are events like dodgeball, handball, running relay, partner dance, simon says, dance team competition, and many others. One goal I have for senior year is to raise my GPA from its current level.

Outside of school I participate in some activities as well. I play community baseball and community basketball. I also occasionally help with my younger sister’s sports teams, whether it is softball or basketball. I also go to the activities for the clubs that are on the weekends as often as I can. Personally I have always dreamt of being a professional athlete, but I realize that is not realistic. I will continue to play sports and strive for my dream, but I have fall back plans if it does not work out. You are welcome to explore my portfolio and read mor﻿e about me, if you wish to. Thank you for your time.
