Miguel was born on September 11th, 1987 in Cartago, Valle, Colombia. He studied at Rafael Pombo primary school until 4th grade, where he showed an early skill for English by helping friends with homework. In 1997, his family moved to La Virginia, Risaralda when his father got a new job there. The following year, Miguel started high school at Bernardo Arias Trujillo where he excelled academically, becoming the top student and receiving a scholarship, though his early years were difficult and he struggled when his grandfather passed away in 2005, causing him to reconsider applying to university.

1. My Autobiography
Miguel Ángel Villegas López

2. My name is Miguel and I was born on
September 11th, 1987 in Cartago, Valle. I
studied my Primary School at Rafael Pombo
until 4th grade. At a Young age, I showed my
skills in the English language because I liked
to help my Friends with the homeworks. My
mom worked in a small factory in the
mornings and my dad worked as a builder all
day long. In 1997, we moved to La Virginia,
Risaralda given the fact that my dad got a job
offer.

3. One year later, I started High School at
Bernardo Arias Trujillo. I became sucessful
during that time inasmuch as I was the best
student and a receided a scholarship, but
those early years were not so easy. When
my grandfather died in 2005, I didn’t want
to apply to the University since I felt very
sorrowful… to be continued…
