Raul's story

Raul is from Venezuala. One fine morning, as Raul was walking to his college after pulling in an all-nighter working on a class presentation, he was attacked by some goons. Handcuffed, blindfolded and with a handgun to his head, Raul was thrown in the back of a van and driven to some unknown location. All along the way he was beaten and cursed. Finally, when he was allowed to speak, he was able to establish a clear case of mistaken identity and was promptly thrown out of the van.

On the lonely highway, Raul chose a direction and ran the first half-marathon of his life. He reached a town and convinced a good samaritan to drive him to college. Raul met his professor, handed in his work, went home and slept. Needless to say, Raul scored an 'A' in that course.

Raul is my classmate at Stern.
