Hi! My name is Richie. I'm fourteen years old, and I go to Stevens Middle School. I have one sister, Chayna, a mom, Diana, and a dad, Richard. My hobbies are hunting, fishing, and working with my dad. I like to watch movies with the actor John Wayne in them. Another thing I like to do is play baseball. I also like to help my dad coach my sister's softball team. I have beenin the Japanese Club for two years. I also like to play my trumpet. The reason I want to go to Japan is so I can see their culture first hand. I also want to see what they do with the logs we export to them. I hope to make many new friends, and many new happy memories.
