Dabbling in the Life of John Richter

Greetings people of the inter-web! My name is John Richter here is my amazing and mind-blowing blog that will be so ground breaking it may not even be able to be measured on the Richter scale. First of all, I am a little new with this blogger stuff so please bear with me. A little bit about me is that I attend Creighton Preparatory school and I am a sophomore this year. I'm 16 years old and have just started to drive which is pretty exciting (although my mom would say different).  I have 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother. My sisters are all in college and my brother is in 7th grade at St. Pius X/St. Leo school (the best school out there in the Omaha metro area because panther pride my friends). My family also has a dog, Maddie is her name. She’s a shnorkie (Yorkshire terrier mixed with a schnauzer) that is about 7 years old. Aside from my family, right now I play basketball at prep for the Sophomore Squad. We are so good that some people have compared us to the 1992 USA Olympic “Dream Team.” We have done pretty well this year with a record of 16 wins and just 1 loss. That one loss was pretty brutal considering I missed a last second shot for the win :’(. But after that loss, I decided it wouldn’t happen again so I have made sure to practice it multiple times. We have a big game coming up against Westside this Friday and are in the JV tournament at the end of the year. This shall be exciting to see how well we can compete against the teams that are supposedly “better” than us. My teammates on the soph squad this year are one of the best groups of guys I’ve ever had the chance to be a part of. They’re all really fun to be around and everyone brings a little something unique to practice every day, including the post-practice “let’s argue about college sports some more in the locker room”. In addition to basketball, I am also on the football and soccer teams at prep, in which our football team, the other soph squad I was a part of this year, went on to have the best sophomore record in prep history. In addition, am involved with operation others and prep ambassadors. I plan on running for student council this coming year but we’ll just have to see how that goes. In my free time, I like to do many things. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, being active, and trying out new stuff. I’d consider myself a pretty social person too. In the summer, I love going to Okoboji. I get to hang out with my cousins, go swimming and boating, fishing, go on bike rides, and maybe some golf. It seems like every summer I make lasting memories there. I also am a pretty big sports fan. I like the Iowa Hawkeyes, Creighton Bluejays, and Minnesota Vikings. And just so everyone knows, I DO NOT like the Nebraska Cornhuskers, contrary to many, many people in Nebraska. Hope you all are enjoying life and maybe even hit me up with that twitter follow because if not you’re missing out.

God Bless and Roll Jays,

John H. Richter
