Miguel Angel De Anda Rivera’s name carries important history: De Anda comes from his father and Rivera from his mother. Miguel says he is a Hispanic teenager currently finishing high school and living life; taking advantage of every moment that life gives him. Those moments and advantages brought him many accomplishments, he says, such as meeting friends, growing as a person, increasing his understanding with everything he learns, and improving his skills through photography, technology, and piano. His greatest accomplishment is making his family, friends, and especially my parents proud. His determination to work hard in and outside of school, to just be himself, and not to change based on what people want him to do or be makes them proud.Miguel has dreamed of graduating from high school and going to college, then working at something he loves and do – things his parents never got to do. Making his mother proud is one of his greatest accomplishments; he plans to use everything she taught him in his future career. Miguel’s future is to create a game never before seen, to change how the world views gaming, and to unite families to make memories and have fun with each other. Miguel is the recipient of a $1,500 Rotary Technical Education Scholarship.
