Start Experiment was more than just an experiment for me. I had a dream in my heart late in 2011. When I got the chance to sing onstage with a well-known band, I jumped on it immediately. Someone encouraged me later to use my gift; soon after, a family member discouraged me, as I was already getting a degree. This past February, I finally made the decision to pursue singing, as I met with several friends who support each other’s goals and keep each other accountable by meeting every two weeks. I took small steps. When Start Experiment came along, I knew I had to join. I didn’t know what it was, but I thought, hey, if it’s something motivational, it will be great for me.

The daily advice, as well as the network of support, has been incredible. It really came down to one piece that Jon wrote where he asked, “Are you working every day to achieve your risk?” That hit me and stuck, and since then I’ve put in the effort to work everyday, whether it’s practicing or just gathering songs. The daily communication with Jon and others has been key. I’m so thankful for Start Experiment (Round 1 and Round 2), and I really feel it’s a going to be a key component in helping me connect with others who will help me achieve my dream.
