He went to Theresa A. Gold Academy on scholarship, excelled, and got a full ride to MIT.^[2]
He was working on his doctorate through MIT online and was recruited straight out of grad school, requesting the New York location, where his family lived, although they had offered him Madrid.^[2]
He was bilingual, steady, and in mad love with another young engineer, but was too shy to ask her out.^[2]
He was beat up by Stephen Whitt and Marshall Cosner when he refused to cheat. His parents brought him in but the headmaster, Dr. Lotte Grange, dismissed it because he was afraid to name names. They came back in when Dr. Martin Rufty took over, and eleven students were suspended as a result of that and other, similar, complaints.^[3]
When he came back to school after being hospitalized for the attack, an athlete, Quint Yanger, who was now a defensive tackle for the Giants, told Whitt if he hit Miguel, he’d hit him twice and harder and if Miguel got shoved, he’d shove him out the nearest window. They left him alone and then when Dr. Grange left and Dr. Rufty came on, the bullying stopped.
