After my 23rd birthday in 2009, I began my quest to be less fearful. Seeing this movie created the idea. I realized that if I wanted my dreams to come true, getting over my fear of failing had to be conquered. So I compiled a list of things that I’ve always wanted to do but never have.

• Sing karaoke — conquered January 2012
• Perform theatre
• Audition for a singing competition — conquered May 2012
