Andrew Lee, the Sports Editor for The Cracked Pot, has lived in the middle-sized town of Berkeley Heights, NJ for all of his sixteen years. Currently in his fifth year with The Potter’s School, Andrew, a junior in high school, has enrolled in American literature, Spanish I, Calculus, and Research Writing.

Conforming quite unintentionally to the Asian stereotype, Andrew has played the violin and the piano since the age of six. Driven strongly by a passion for orchestral music, Andrew has played violin in the New Jersey Youth Symphony, a local orchestral organization, for the past nine years and has actively participated in their chamber music program and music theory classes. His conundrum of a musical résumé includes singlehandedly ruining an entire orchestral concert, sitting everywhere from second to last seat to concertmaster, one close call with a baton, and nearly sending a piano auditioner into diabetic shock.

Andrew has remained involved in the Scouting program ever since joining the Cub Scouts in second grade. As partially evidenced to the keen observer by the burn marks on his camping fleece and the octet of knives squirreled around his desk, Andrew has become reasonably well-versed at controlled pyromaniacy and has developed a penchant for pointy objects. Despite having earned his Eagle in June of 2005, Andrew regards his continued involvement in youth leader training as the pinnacle of his experience in Scouts. His lengthy list of activities in that area, highlighted by staffing Boy Scout’s national leadership camp at Philmont Scout Ranch this past summer, contains numerous items with long important-sounding names. Otherwise, Andrew also wears spiffy silver epaulets as one of the youth representatives on his council’s executive board, and contributes as a member of venture crew which focuses upon leadership training.

On a semi-formal level, Andrew plays tennis during the limited time that he spends at home during the summer and fences at a local club during the rest of the year. He occasionally shoots some hoops in his driveway and has a perfect record against himself. In even a remotely-organized setting, though, Andrew’s diminutive stature of 5’4” generally undermines what minute talent he possesses. Taking a rather academic perspective to sports, Andrew follows the four major professional sports--the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL--where his interests primarily lie in sports management rather than scores.

As for random tidbits, Andrew has developed a tendency to litter e-mails and instant messenger conversations with copious quantities of anime smilies. He has an enigmatic inclination to refer to fruit for no apparent reason, with mangos, his favorite fruit in real life, appearing on a frequent basis. For whatever unjust reason, headphones hate his guts and continually insist on falling apart on him. During the past year, four pairs of headphones have inexplicably died on him.
