He is also studying to become a Jesuit priest and is currently in his third year of
studies.
Vietnamese Life
Bao Nguyen currently comes from
Vietnam and lived there
for quite some time.
He worked at a bank and apparently had quite a living going for
him until his vocation.
An unverified story says that, prior to his job in the bank, he
was a soldier for the Viet Cong and was a 1st class private.
He was known as "Pho" which, in Vietnamese, translates to
"noodle", and to this day, Pho still serves as a suitable nickname
for Bao Nguyen.
He is reported to have killed two American soldiers and to have
injured between thirteen and fifteen during the Vietnam War.
Specifically, according to the report, Bao was a booby
trapper.
That is, he set up booby traps (e.g. hollowed pits, claymores,
etc.) on American paths, which were triggered or detonated by
trip-wire or a sensation mechanism, resulting in the desired
effect.
His service in Vietnam would later help him, according to one
account, diffuse a live "cooked" grenade during class.
American Life and Road to Success
Upon coming to the
United
States, Mr. Bao Nguyen would inevitably discard the alias "Pho"
due to his increased popularity and his vocational calling to the
Jesuit Priesthood.
Once the alias "Pho" was shed, he consequently added S.J. after
his sir name, to demonstrate his devotion to this calling of
brotherhood that he then had received.
His increase in popularity can be mainly attributed to his
revolutionary breakthrough in the musical world with the ground
breaking sub genre of music deemed Kung Fu Rap or "K.F.R" (for short) by the many,
it seemed immediate followers to this music style that would pave
the way for excellence in the world.
He would later re-adapt his former alias as his artist name
when he released "Big Pho: Gangstas of the VC".
His sensational single "Why You Make Noise in My Class?" would
soon hypnotize both youth and adults across the nation, providing
for the first time, a sense of unity in the musical world that both
kids and adults can agree on.
Although, through the unconfirmed case in which he supposedly
levitated at one of his concerts, his new move that captivated
dancers and students alike was his amazing ability to do two
fingered push ups where he actually folds his legs together and
lifts his entire body off the surface, giving this amazing illusion
of levitating and thus proving he is the king of the
classroom.
Vocation
After his life as a high roller and
international hit, Bao "Pho" Nguyen felt he had a calling.
It was time for a change in his life.
And that change would impact the rest of his life.
Ever since he was a little boy, Bao struggled with who he was
and he felt that finally he had found the answer.
After visiting a Jesuit Order, it seemed that Bao, the
international star and North Vietnamese hero, could not be taken
away from the compound and quickly joined the ranks of Jesuit men
around the world.
Bao felt he fit in among the many holy men that were in his
class at Grand Coteau, Louisiana, which can
be directly related to their devotion to teaching and his life long
fondness for controlling a classroom in accordance with effective
means of discipline.
This evidently led to his career as a teacher and seminarian in
the Houston area.
He holds a Bachelor of Business in Accounting and a Masters in
Business Administration from the University of
Houston and a Masters of Arts in Social Philosophy from Loyola
University in Chicago".
He currently teaches Theology I and II (the latter is also
known as Catholicism) and all of his classes are taught in the 300
building, usually in rooms 303 and 306.
He has to teach in order to become a Jesuit and will probably
teach for the remainder of his studies (5 years or so), if not
longer.
Grenade Incident
In the spring of 2006, a student
(reported to have been a long, brown-haired junior or senior) threw
a "Sonic Grenade" into his classroom while his class was watching a
movie.
Based upon the eyewitness accounts in the room, the grenade
(which had a twenty second timer, after which would release a
"wailing" siren) physically hit the desk Bao was sitting in.
Accounts here vary, but Mr. Nguyen seems to have laid eyes upon
the grenade, became "wide eyed", and picked it up and threw it out
the classroom, immediately blaming the person (name?) outside the
room.
It later turned out it was not he who threw the grenade.
Other accounts state that Bao physically "jumped" on the
grenade, then threw it outside after realizing it wouldn't
detonate.
As the year progressed and rumors spread (especially with the
4/20 threats), one account reported that a live grenade was thrown
into the room, but Mr. Nguyen was able to diffuse it.
This is entirely inaccurate, however.
Recent accounts state that a noise making grenade was thrown in
the hallway outside his class in the fall of 2007.
