Frustrated by the poverty and homelessness endured by some of his friends in Miami Gardens, Marquis Viel was determined to make a difference in his community. <\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the teenager and seven of his classmates at Miami Norland Senior High School attempted to tackle the issue through the <\/span>Progressors Over Poverty<\/span><\/a><\/span> Project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative won the <\/span>ASPEN Challenge Miami<\/span><\/a><\/span>, a 10-week competition that gives students a platform to solve societal issues such as poverty and climate change. Participants are offered financial literacy lessons that teach them budgeting, credit management and how to open a bank account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project motivated the Miami-Dade County School Board to pass an item last October advocating for financial literacy funding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Progressors Over Poverty] focuses on connecting people with resources,\u201d Viel said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helping others has always been Viel\u2019s nature. <\/span><\/p>\n

While serving as vice-president of the Norland Key Club, he participated in neighborhood cleanups,\u00a0 food distribution and collection drives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Marquis] never makes an excuse,\u201d said Precious Symonette, a writing teacher at Miami Norland Senior High who advised Viel\u2019s team during the ASPEN Challenge. \u201cHe’s always willing to help others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His efforts earned him a Silver Knight nomination and a $4,000 scholarship from The Links, a non-profit organization advocating for the advancement of the Black community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In April, Viel, who took dual-enrollment classes, earned an associate\u2019s degree in accounting from North Campus. Two months later, he graduated as class valedictorian from Norland with a 5.1 weighted GPA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very independent and motivated to achieve anything he sets his heart and mind to accomplish,\u201d said Marquis\u2019 mom, Jeanette Viel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next month, the 18-year-old will transfer to the University of Florida. He hopes to earn his bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in accounting. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Viel dedicates his free time to creating art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, Viel was one of 50 students state-wide featured in the <\/span>Poetry Out Loud <\/span><\/i>anthology and he participated in the Louder Than A Bomb slam poetry competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is currently writing poetry for the anthology, <\/span>More Than What Happened: The Aftermath of Gun Violence in Miami <\/span><\/i>and a book about his life experiences in South Florida sponsored by Apple Creative Studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both works will be featured at the Miami Book Fair in November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the 2021 and 2022 <\/span>Scholastic Art & Writing Awards<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Viel won <\/span>two Silver Key awards and three honorable mentions for his watercolor, digital art and poetry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His portraits challenge the patriarchal ideology that men shouldn\u2019t show emotion. One of his pieces, \u201cPsychedelic Blue Sadness,\u201d was featured in last year’s Watercolor Student Show hosted by the Miami Watercolor Society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an escape zone for me,\u201d Viel said. \u201cI can immerse myself into the arts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the future, Viel hopes to get a CPA license and become a public accountant for one of the big four accounting firms\u2014Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler. He eventually wants to create his own firm. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cOftentimes, students learn from you, but I think in many instances I’ve learned so much from Marquis,\u201d said Ronald Redman, the principal at Miami Norland when Viel attended the high school. \u201cHe’s going to make a tremendous impact in our society.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
