FAIRFAX, Va. - A Virginia teenager has been appointed to all four American military service academies.
Timothy Park, 18, beat the odds with stellar grades, test scores, leadership, community service and fitness.
"I'm feeling amazing right now," Park said.
In fact, the odds are so great, it's a rare reality for anyone to get into all four schools.
"It's about one percent, if not less," Park said. "Of the whole country."

He should be proud to be eligible for entry into four schools that Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch would not qualify even as a waiter in the dining halls.
Methinks, yup !
Waitin' for you to be part of our team, young man.
>> if he was of Korean descent <<
He’s probably not a natural-born citizen.
What a wonderful story. We hear so much about the 19 and 20 year olds who are living off Welfare while they attend anarchist riots and trash property, its good to be reminded of kids like this.
“It’s about one percent, if not less,” Park said. “Of the whole country.”
Ya think?

Amazing. My guess is his parents took an active role in his schooling. Unlike parents who couldn’t care less.
What’s your point ? How many service academies did you get in?
Most ...Sundays, including this Memorial Day weekend, visitors to this place of manicured lawns and graceful red maple trees will find James' father, Solomon, 72, sitting on a bench.
He will be reading a Bible and gazing now and then at bronze sculptures of his son and another Navy SEAL that are the centerpiece of a veterans memorial. James, who died at age 28, is depicted in full battle gear crouching beside a close friend, Matthew Axelson, a Cupertino native who also died in the mountains that day... On Memorial Day, a SEAL's family remembers
I wasn't aware that he was running for president.
Either way, there are obviously four first alternate candidates who are all hoping that he chooses to attend the academy that they weren't applying for.
There's a pretty good chance his parents are naturalized, and perhaps born in the U.S. (Though if his dad is 72, odds are he's an immigrant.) Either way, the kid is a natural born citizen, as he was a citizen from birth.
So what? I have a good friend who is of Korean descent. He is smart, ambitious, and more patriotic than 90% of the “natural born” citizens you will ever meet. And yes, he voted for Trump.
Well done young man, well done.
Four Service Academies? That’s one hell of a commute. :-)
Bravo!
Great example for all of us. I’m guessing good parents too.
Starting this fall, the teen will begin his journey of fulfilling his family's legacy of service to the nation, a tradition that started with his grandfather and continued with his dad.
