Delusional Renaissance Man

He begins, "The staff at my grammar school with the assistance of the school psychologist determined that I was incredibly gifted. I had an inconceivably high IQ. Just to establish where my intelligence was, I had been given an intense amount of material to absorb and then was tested on it. At only eight years old, I skipped from third grade, all the way to twelfth.

It was further determined, however, that a child should be exposed to a normal environment while growing up. This is why it was decided to leave me in the mainstream education system. I did attend grammar school and associated myself with the other kids. But I was separated during classroom hours and given material such as college-level quantum physics, differential equations, and literature whose Lexile measurements would have exceeded 5600.

I attended three years of high school, and graduated at the age of sixteen. But don't think for one moment that academics overshadowed my physical development. I had the genetics of a super-athlete so that by eight grade I possessed the body of a college football athlete. In high school I was the star quarterback who was responsible for winning the championship for our school in three consecutive years. Oh I should also mention how I excelled in school orchestra, band, theater and art.

By the time I was 21, I had several Bachelor's, Master's and PhDs in medicine, engineering, art, business, education, politics and even religion. And while doing this, I played college football—again, our team winning the championship in the five years that I played.

It wasn't all work and no play for me while in college. You see; college was a bit of a party time in my life. While earning my degrees and playing football, I concurrently became the #1 male pop singer throughout America, Europe, the UK and Asia. My records sold countless copies. I toured the world and could barely hear myself sing at concerts as the entire audience would scream. I went through another phase in which I became the hottest, male celebrity actor in Hollywood. I starred in over a dozen blockbusters in my acting career. I still get calls from agents which I turn down, of course.

Some people ask at one point I decided it was time to end my college and party life. I earned all those Bachelor's, Master's and PhDs; I was the star college football player; I was the #1 pop male singer and hottest male celebrity actor. Some people would have said that my life was at its peak. What made me leave it all behind?

Well, I started thinking that maybe I needed to give back to my country. After earning my final degree in college, I joined the military. Oh, they wanted me to go into intelligence; become a spy or perhaps even a great commander or general. But I wanted none of these roles. I simply wished to be a soldier and fight in the trenches.

As luck would have it, shortly after earning my way through boot camp and Special Forces training, the big war broke out and the world was under threat by an unstoppable power. It was my platoon that fought in the final battle. Low on ammunition, food, medical supplies and nearly defeated; I had only my indomitable spirit which enabled me to single-handedly save my platoon in a heroic, selfless act which not only saved the lives of those men; but won the war for the whole, entire world. I returned home to countless parades, medals, awards and much recognition.

After my time spent in the military I spent some years doing medical research. In that time I cured cancer, HIV, and even reversed the human aging process. Thanks to me, the world is a better place for humans to live. I received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for my work. But I didn't always spend my time in a research lab and earning prizes. I also organized many missions with other doctors to travel the globe and treat the sick in third world nations.

"What about love and marriage?" you might ask?

Forgive me; the material accomplishments I've mentioned have overshadowed my life of love and marriage. I neglected to mention that shortly after coming home from the military, I met Miss America. It was love at first sight between us. We married six months later, and had our first child shortly after. Today we are a family which includes 3 boys, and 4 girls; two of those children adopted from Africa. My wife and I have remained together and we continue to have a beautiful marriage.

I was eventually tapped by political leaders to run for President of the United States, and won by a landslide victory. In my eight years in office, the country had the lowest unemployment rate it had ever seen, the lowest crime rate, the best real estate market in history, and so much more to even mention. After my time in office, I served in many political leadership roles in other countries where I solved sociological, economic, and civil crises.

Would you believe that for six years I served as Pope of the Catholic Church? Although I did so much good work while leading the organization, the doctrine of priests being unmarried did present an issue during my papacy. I volunteered to step down so that I could remain married to my beautiful wife.

I guess there comes a time in a man's life when he feels that the years are running out. I did go through this period of middle age in my life, and wished to make a serious impact on the world around me. This might have been what inspired me to team up with several scientists, aeronautics engineers, and space engineers; some of them who either retired or once worked for NASA. Together we designed and constructed the world's first private spacecraft. I was one of the astronauts who traveled to our neighboring planet, Mars. It was, I, who put the first human foot on the planet Mars. But while doing this, I was sure to exhibit humbleness. While the world watched and listened I said, "To elaborate on the great words of Neil Armstrong; this might be a greater step for man, but an even greater leap for mankind."

After returning home from my adventure in space, I actually went into part time real estate development... interplanetary real estate development, that is. Seeing that our team of scientists and engineers could successfully land a spacecraft on Mars, plans went under way to develop the planet so that it could be inhabitable. I say I did this part time, because I turned my attention to something else I always wanted to do. I became a professional race car driver and won numerous races and trophies. Oh, I had so much money—more than I knew to do with. To this very day I fund the team of scientists and engineers so that they can develop Mars for residential real estate.

I guess I've done a lot with my life. I've made many accomplishments. What's your excuse?"

The psychiatrist of the mental hospital briefly set down his notepad and sighed while looking at the patient who had just been admitted. He calmly answered, "I'm not here to make any excuses. I simply asked if you could tell me a little bit about yourself. And those are some amazing claims of yours. How much of that do you actually believe is true?"
