Extra

When I was younger I always wanted to be an extra on America’s Funniest Videos.
Whenever I would watch it starting from when I was about eight, I would think about what it would be like to be an extra. Each time I imagined this I would always picture myself being in the seat next to the stairs because it seemed like the best seat.
When I was older I found the website that gave away tickets to the show. The only problem was that I would have to be 16.
A few years later I lived in Southern California and I was looking for tickets for other shows and there were tickets available a week after I would turn 16, the first possible show I could go to! I printed out the tickets and went to the studio.
When I got there hundreds of people had already arrived. I still hoped that I could be on the show. While we were in line someone from the show took us from the very back of the line to about 10th in line.
When we walked into the studio they led us to the exact seats I had been visualizing the entire time! I couldn’t believe it! I had so much fun!
Also, I did not find out about The Secret until a few years later but I had heard about the Law of Attraction when I was eight. I remembered that I had watched a TV show that explained vision boards and visualization which said to think about something to prove that the Law of Attraction works. I remembered that I had thought that if I could be an extra on AFV that it would be proof, it just came eight years later!
