I became very familiar with the Ramen Noodle and Mac and Cheese diet in college. With a limited budget and limited kitchen space, I never owned a strainer. I frequently used a spare lid or fork lying around to get the job done. This inspired me to come up with a better way make my daily noodle meals.

Starting as a napkin sketch, my idea for a helpful tool for college students to make noodles has come a long way. My idea has earned the name "One Bowl" and can be used to cook, strain, eat, and store food all in one bowl. I currently have the OneBowl on Kickstarter (http://bit.ly/theonebowl) to help raise funds for production.

So far, an incredible community of over 500 people from more than 25 countries has come together to raise over $16,000! I am literally watching my dreams come true right before my eyes. I wanted to share this inspirational story with the Sunny Skyz community to show that if you believe in yourself, you can make your dreams come true.
