They say a good beginning is half of success. They also say that the first step is the hardest one to take.
Little did I know that the casual step I took was the first that would lead me to having my dream come true.
From the day I was recruited into the St Petersburg State Medical Academy (named after I.I. Mechnikov) Choir, I never planned on quitting it.
We worked hard, meeting two days a week and singing for 2 hours, sometimes more, each time. Then one day Aleksandra Reshetnikova, our choir mistress, told us that she had enrolled us into the 2009 Student Choir Collective Competition.
On the 22nd of November, our choir of 20 attended the eliminating round of the competition, held in the concert hall of LETI.

We were the youngest choir in the competition that day.For many of us, it was the first time performing as a choir, on stage.
Perhaps someone up there was looking out for us. Or perhaps, just perhaps, the judges liked what they heard. We almost couldn't believe our ears when they announced that we had beat a few other groups and made it to the finals.
