[QUOTE=Pantz Master;49814564]Why are you guys acting like getting good grades in high school as [B]a 23 year old[/B] is some kind of achievement?[/QUOTE] Dude, I'm 24 and I'd still probably do worse than this guy in senior year of high school.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;49814487]Yeah, this man is example of an immigrant becoming a productive member of society. Let this guy stay.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure a guy in his 20s inventing a fake identity and pretending to be a teenager so he can go through high school is not exactly the American Dream.
[QUOTE=catbarf;49831345]I'm pretty sure a guy in his 20s inventing a fake identity and pretending to be a teenager so he can go through high school is not exactly the American Dream.[/QUOTE] For myself, I'd love nothing less then to redo highschool and goto college for marine biology and law enforcement. Hell I would fake an identity to go back and try again. Realistically, this guy has proven himself with that fantastic GPA, community service, and will to serve in the ROTC... A program funded by the US Military usually. This all leads me to see him as a productive member of society, who all though faked his identity, he decided to not do criminal activities and instead used it for a second chance in life or as a way to advance his capabilities. He is the self-made American Dream type.

[QUOTE=aliendrone123;49814467]4.16 GPA? Let the man stay we need him haha[/QUOTE] 4.16 GPA AFTER 2 completing HS and 2 years of college. If I was back doing the shit I did in hs again, I'd probably score the same :v
Thing is why didn't he just go to Adult ED or do you guys not have that in the states?
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;49848988]Thing is why didn't he just go to Adult ED or do you guys not have that in the states?[/QUOTE] We have programs like that but they're stigmatized. People who attend HS-level classes as adults are often portrayed as trying to make up for past mistakes or as perpetual strugglers who wouldn't fare well in college. This guy probably wanted to give off the appearance of "getting it right the first time" so that he could get access to better colleges and jobs.
