Mr. Baron Interview: Thang Nguyen

By Zack Bernardin, staff writer

The Baron Banner was able to interview some candidates competing for the Mr. Baron pageant at FVHS this Friday. Thang Nguyen answers our questions on why he should be Mr. Baron.

Baron Banner: What made you apply for Mr. Baron?

Thang Nguyen: Well, I didn’t actually apply per-se, it was more like Donald Chan filling out the application all willy-nilly and then getting my signature.

BB: What’s the difference between a man and a boy?

TN: The difference between a man and a boy is a man can take a bullet, and a boy cries at it.

BB: What activities do you participate in?

TN: Academic decathlon, Mu Alpha Theta, FBLA, and I used to be in the chess club.

BB: What would you consider your greatest strength?

TN: My greatest strength is to take a bullet.

BB: And your second?

TN: It would be the ability to adapt to any situation no matter how dire the circumstances.

BB: What motivates you?

TN: Knowing that I am better than at least one person in the world!

BB: What do you think is fashionable to wear?

TN: Have you looked at me? I’m not very fashionable am I? I think what would be fashionable would be black, white, and blue. Any combination of those things is okay.

BB: What are some traits an ideal Baron should posses?

TN: He should be intellectual. He should be strong. He should take a bullet.

BB: Good luck in the competition!

TN: I don’t need luck!
