The Legend of Don Quixote

My name is Don Raphael Nguyen. I was born in Chicago, Illinois as the son of two Vietnamese parents. Yes, I'm Asian. Because of my asian heritage, I am good at math, english, driving, math, ping pong, instruments, kung fu, life and math. At the end of the 1st grade, my parents told me that we were moving to Omaha. At the time I was devastated because I had no idea how to explain to my two girlfriends, Grace and Kelly, what was happening. They took it pretty hard crying for hours and hours and their tears ended up flowing north to form what many call today as "Lake Michigan". In the 2nd grade I attended the school, Saint Vincent de Paul, in which I went on to dominate in every possible activity for my school to create a name known to all in the Archdiocese. I played soccer, averaging 8 goals and 3 assists per game, with an impressive record of 84-0-0 in which in 8th grade I earned a spot on the All-American soccer team for U14. Unfortunately I had to decline the offer because I was so busy with my research on finding the cure for cancer. Math is a huge strength of mine. In MATHCOUNTS, I got 10th place in Omaha in 6th grade, later improving to 1st in 7th. Sadly, I was too busy volunteering, helping lost puppies the day before the 8th grade competition and I ended up getting 2nd. On the bright side, I got 2nd in State to earn me the spot on the National team. Math and Soccer weren't the only things I did. I also played basketball in which I was nicknamed "Jeremy Lin". When I drive to the basket, some people like Isaac Newton call me an unstoppable force, but I prefer to be called the "rain maker". I was what one calls a Tri-athlete. My third sport was track. I ran track for my school and earned myself nicknames like the "blazin' asian" in which I was so blazin' fast that people were absolutely stunned by my impressive speed. Albert Einstein has compared me to light itself although I like to think of it as light's speed is compared to me. I ran a sub 4 minute mile in the 8th grade and was a junior Olympian. Unfortunately, I had to get surgery over the summer for my legs because I had injured them trying to squat the Earth in a competition with the Titan, Atlas. Now my mile time is at around 4:45. At the end of my amazing career, Creighton Prep sent prospects to recruit me. I had to make a decision between Gross, which offered me a full ride along with paying me $100,000 a year to attend the school, Skutt which offered my a 4 year contract worth $450,000, and Roncalli which offered to rename their school after me. I ended up going to Prep because Class A baby. Freshman year, I ran Cross Country for Father Tillman and played Soccer under Luigi Catalano. My athletic career went down a severe path because of my surgery, but I can still run. I plan on running for the rest of my high school career and possibly in college. My music interests vary greatly from Gangnam style to music made by PSY. I helped create the video Gangnam Style which became the first YouTube video to reach 1 billion views. I also developed the game Flappy Bird in which was not only just a game for fun, but a lifestyle. But, the Illuminati tried to take control of my game by planting viruses in the IP addresses all over the world so I was forced to take it off the market. On a happier note, I love everything about Chicago.The Chicago Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, I am all a fan of. Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls is my man. No one compares to his beauty and elegance on the basketball court. I am single and not ready to mingle because I am an immature teenager that is not ready to respect women the way they should be treated.
