My name is Stephanie Michelle Viel. I was born on June 1, 1993 in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. I have lived in the Sunshine state all my life. I have traveled many places and encountered terrific people that has been a major influence in my life. I do not live the fabulous life yet, but I have experienced tough times. There were times in which I felt like giving up and reaching my dreams seemed impossible, but there was two people that told me never to give up. To never be afraid to show my abilities. My heroes are my parents and God. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be half the person I am today. I learned there is always going to be people that will underestimate my potential but I will never give up what I believe in. Right now, I am a 15 year old girl attending Mater Academy High School and striving for my dreams. I am a sophmore in high school and a freshman in Miami Dade College. I believe education is the most important thing in life. It is something that you can always gain and no one can take it away from you.

*Someday, I will love to become an actress. I want to be the type actress that everyone will know, not buy the horrific rumors in magazines but the person that inspires young viewers that nothing is impossible and dreams really do come true.
*I will also like to become a model. I want to show the world there is more than the "perfect" body. I want people to know you can be beautiful and smart by not just weighing 100 pounds so you can feel beautiful.
*Photography, is an art that I appreciate and enjoy. Photography to me is a sign of expression in one's life story or what is going on in the world around us.
