Class of 2011-12

Miguel De Dios

Iowa State University

I am currently a junior at Iowa State University. I intend on majoring in Management Information Systems (MIS) in the College of Business. More about me, I was born in Fairfield, California and at a young age moved to Perry, Iowa. As of now, I reside in Ames, Iowa where I am a full time student. I am also employed by the Department of Residence, though Iowa State University. My free time involves attending live music concerts and bailes (dances), watching all kinds of movies and my favorite TV shows, and staying active by playing sports, such as soccer and basketball and working out at the gym. A new interest of mine has become playing the guitar. Learning from a guide and a couple of friends I’ll admit I am no professional, but I have the greatest love for music, so any two or three notes that flow in sequence makes me happy to continue. Another interest that I discovered is traveling. At a young age I dreaded traveling mainly due to being so accustomed to my life here in the United States, but once I had the chance to really explore Mexico, like I did this recent year, I found myself wanting to build on this new experience in different parts of the world. The world has so much to offer that I want to look back into my life and see that I took the chance to explore it and take as much of it in. I recently discovered what my dream job would be thanks to one of my MIS professors. Google has totally won me over on all aspects. How the company functions and operates, as well as, their incredible facilities and benefits I feel I would never want to leave for any other job or career. On a final note, one thing that describes me is I am very optimistic so I love life to the fullest along with God, family, and friends.
