Thank you, thank you and thank you to Rhonda and her magnificant team but also a heartfelt thank you to every person who takes the time to read these posts.
This is how my story goes. In 2010 my life changed after one trip to the hospital with my dad. It was like in a blink of an eye lid that he was well one minute and was diagnosed with cancer the next. I was thankfully given a 3 month leave from work to be with the family and dad through his last days. I was also studying part time, which meant in between studying part time I would run my mum to the hospital.
I use to take my books and study, sitting by his bed and dad was getting really ill. But he made me promise no matter what, I sit for those exams. He passed 3 days before my finals and the tutors said we think you should ask to put the exams back. I was taking a gamble but I said no, I would sit for them. And I passed thanks to my dad being my biggest angel.
Dad also left me a card which I looked at after and it said “Congratulations, well done”. He believed in The Secret.
It didn’t stop there. I went for the training contract interview because I promised dad I would be a solicitor. I went for the training contract again, and still didn’t get it. I cried on my train ride home because I thought I failed but I hadn’t. I went on to the net and found another route to qualifying with my 5 years of work experience.
Today I became a CILEX Fellow and I am being admitted as a solicitor. This route is quicker and much better then had I done the training contract. I made a vision board and on it I put I am a Fellow.
Today I feel I achieved what I set out to do make my dad proud, and set out to do what I wanted to do.
I am living proof of The Secret and if I can do it, so can you. Please believe in yourself. I believe everyone of you is a success because without your inspiration and help I wouldn’t be where I am, so thank you all.
