Hello, my name is Shiela Catarata. I'm 21 years old. My ethnic background is Filipino. My height is 5'1 and my weight is 112 lb. I am just a simple dreamer who wants to make a difference in this world full of inequality. My role model is Emma Watson.

My dream is to become an entertainer and an influencer. I love singing and dancing as much as I love modeling because I see them as a combination. Every runway has to have music because even though models only walk, they make their every step synchronize with the music, that's why I learned to love modeling. If I succeed, I will launch a clothing line that fits all sizes, that way, nobody has to cut or fold their jeans and nobody has to lose or gain weight to fit their desired outfit.

I want to make a difference in the modeling industry. All my life, I've been holding back on my dreams because people around me tells me that I'm too sort, I'm too thick, my voice isn't good enough; but I realize that I can't let people define me and hold me back from achieving my dreams. Instead, I want to change their fixed mindset about the real beauty of a person and appreciate everybody's height, size, race, etc. I believe that everyone has the ability to reach their goals, that no matter who you are, you can make an impact and a difference on whatever path you want to follow. I want to be a role model to everyone and to show them that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. "THE SKY IS THE LIMIT !!!"
