_____________________________________________________________________________________

-       West Hills Academy for Gifted Children. Entered the third grade at age four with a tenth grade reading level and fluency in three languages. Promptly assigned line leading and attendance duties, obtained position as class president within two months following a peaceful seizure of student government headquarters.

-       Parkdale Public middle school. Banished to public school due to tax related accusations against my family. Charges were dropped. Gained a reputation in the school as “the tall kid” and “the kid who falls a lot.” In reality, my reputation was one I consciously designed to study the social patterns of middle class white adolescents. My journals on the subject were published in “Scientific American” under the pseudonym “Theodore Colgate-Walker III.”

-       Greyston High School for Boys- I did not attend this school, as I was enrolled in University by the age of ten, but I was granted an honorary degree after singlehandedly rescuing every student from their dormitories during an electrical fire that burned the school to the ground. (which is why if you check these credentials, you’ll find nothing. All records were destroyed in the fire.)

-       Michigan State University- anticipating a degree in socio-agricultural sciences and a minor in race-horse breeding/naming.
