self.Experience:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self) self.Experience.Text:Show() end)

In this function's body, self refers to the StatusBar frame (which you refer to as self.Experience outside of the function body). Either change the function signature (from function(self)) or use self.Text inside the function body.

PS: Same thing goes for OnLeave.
