Howdy! My name is Tom Polites and this is my third year attending Henry Clay. I'm 17 years old which is nice because I've already gotten my driver's license, which I constantly remind my friends of since most of them don't have theirs, but it's also weird because I am over a year older than some of them. My brother Andrew attends Tulane University and will be a junior this upcoming school year. He went to Henry Clay for all four years of high school as did my mother and father (or Big Tom as he is more commonly known) so I decided to follow suit. Since Andrew is on to bigger and better things, I live with my parents and our two cats, Tibbs and Jack. I played on the baseball team freshman year but I decided to retire and I now run cross country. In my spare time I enjoy watching and playing sports and hanging out with my friends. Because I enjoy some solid banter I watch the Premier League and I also enjoy college sports as well as the NBA and NFL.
This summer I went to Zion National Park and Lake Powell where I stayed on a houseboat with some of my classmates from middle school. It was an experience I will never forget and a great way to spend a few weeks of my summer.
My goals this year are to maintain my 4.0 GPA and to procrastinate less so I don't get bogged down with work. I also want to improve as a writer. My brother and dad are both talented writers so I would like to continue the family tradition.
Below is a picture of my favorite soccer player, Didier Drogba. This is him after winning the Champions League for my favorite club Chelsea. It is a game that I remember watching and one of my happiest moments as a soccer fan.
