WBM Feature: Starts With V(eronica)

A strong passion for any object will ensure success for the desire of the end will point out the means.

-William Hazlitt

Growing up we've had aspirations, some of which included being teachers, doctors, lawyers, astronauts, presidents, businessowners, athletes, and singers. Now whether we're in pursuit of them or not, many of us still have these aspirations and are just awaiting the right opportunity if given the chance to acheive such passion.

As for one young New York native, her passion isn't just something she wishes she could pursue. Veronica chooses to go after her desires to with a goal in mind. Success is what she continues to strive for and acting is what she ultimately sees herself very much involved in. How does she plans to get that point? Modeling. It's a vehicle to open up the door of arts & entertainment for the world to welcome her with open arms.

With the charisma that just about anyone would love, Veronica Vior shares what makes her who she is; smiles and all.
