There are only a few things in life that I am absolutely accomplished at, three things to be completely honest, and two are very reliant on each other. One, is lying. When i was younger, I was always in trouble. And every single time I got caught, I would try to lie my way out of it. But to my dismay, I was a terrible liar as a kid. Until somewhere along the way, I developed an incredible talent of lying. Now, I can lie about anything, the words just slip out of mouth as if they were the truth. It’s second nature to me, it comes effortlessly. And it comes in handy a lot with my second talent, which is bullshitting my way out of any situation. I really don’t know how I do it, but somehow, I can create a perfect mix of my lies and my charming personality and get myself out of any sorta of sticky situation life throws my way. It’s also handy to help other get out of situations, and I’ve saved friends on more than a few occasions. And last but not least, is my most shining talent, my incredible and outstanding sense of defiance. Doing the exact opposite of what I’m told is something that is just so natural to me, it’s one thing that everyone knows about me. It’s like my mo, and I couldn’t be more proud of it. This fabulously innate quality is exactly the reason how I ended up parking my prized Mustang convertible in Jake McKinley’s parking spot for the eighth time in a row. It’s also hope I roped seven of my friends into parking in every space around his, completely blocking out every other spot that would qualify as remotely in his comfort zone. And it’s also how I ended up getting Jonathan Ushan’s phone number, which was basically the start of the whole whirlwind of events that is better known as my junior year of high school. Yeah, I guess I have a lot of explaining to do.

This is a memoir about my life between 2015 and 2020, where I was part of an international crime ring and my subsequent arrest and imprisonment in a 3rd world country. Here's the synopsis: When I was 27, I started taking American and British University entrance exams for foreign nationals for money. I worked with an agency that paid for my flights, my accommodation, and sent me a forged passport to gain entry to the exams. I was paid a lot per exam. I had an advantage over other test-takers-- English was my native language and I could travel to countries that were inaccessible to others with my American passport. I was able to score perfect on the exams I took, but on some tests like the GRE, I would under-score on purpose to avoid detection. I used the money to travel the world and live the life I'd always dreamed of. I'd never enjoyed my home city of Chicago due to perceptions of my race, and I'd found that I was much happier abroad. I lived and learned about the world and myself in Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, Seoul, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Cairo, Istanbul, and more. Those were the best years of my life. When I was 30, the ACT sent a detective team to hunt me down in Thailand. I was sentenced to 18 months in prison. I started writing this memoir wedged between hot bodies on a makeshift pencil made from rubber bands and lead. We lived in overcrowded prisons where we slept on top of each other, often sharing parasites. The food was just leftover parts of animals that the prison could buy cheaply: pig fat with the bristles still connected, chicken heads and feet. AMERICAN IMPOSTOR is about identity, media, justice, and is completed to its first draft.
