About Me

Hey. My name's Miguel, but everyone calls me Migs. Currently, I'm a fulltime student at Cal State Fullerton and I'm trying to be an Elementary School TEACHER. But eventually, I'd also love to be a professor of Asian American Studies in CSUF. I always strive to do the best I can in everything I do and be the best person I could be. I'm very involved in a lot of things, and I take great pride in it. I usually just like to spend time with friends and family, and keep myself busy. Also, I'm proud to be an active brother of BETA UPSILON DELTA. Generally I have a pretty reserved demeanor. But I'm very capable of having fun. Enjoy life while it's there, right? I'm a friendly person. I value true friendships and I fully appreciate the people who continue to be influential in my life. Also, I take tremendous pride in my Filipino culture and upbringing. I want to EDUCATE the masses about the community and help ELIMINATE the current injustices that our people are going through. The Filipino veterans need their benefits, and the fight for EQUITY goes on...
