Rosario, ArgentinaI am a young, catholic, lovable, fashion student from Argentina. Reading The Secret was a big one for me! Thanks to my mom who shared and taught me this wonderful power that we all have!
Ever since my mom showed me The Secret movie when I was 12 I have never stopped using my inner power! I always prayed but ever since I saw The Secret, I pray with more positivity and a feeling of gratefulness that has changed my life!
I love this story because it was funny to me at that moment in my life. I was just being me, having fun, and talking about my projects and wishes. Finally, that feeling of joy in my head and heart let God and the Universe give me what I had asked for.
It was July. I was on the school bus and saw an Instagram post from the Istituto Marangoni. I had never heard of this fashion school before but I really liked its profile so I said, “Oh, I am going to study here.” My friends said that it was awesome! So I filled out an inquiry in which they asked how much are you able to pay for the course and if you have a degree in fashion. I wrote down that I was able to afford the most expensive fee for any course related to fashion. The fee for a year long course was about 10,000 euros. I didn’t ask my parents and I knew that was a lot of money for us but I didn’t care. I wanted the Istituto to have my name in mind, the way to pay would come.
In August I started Italian lessons and when people asked me why I said because I was going to take a fashion course at Istituto Marangoni in Milan. I wanted to do it in English but I would love to speak Italian as well. I’ve always wanted to learn Italian.
A month later, I sent an email saying that I was interested in their courses and needed to get more info about payments, getting a degree, etc. A woman from Uruguay contacted me. My father, the woman, and I had some online meetings, phone calls, and emails.
Then I applied for a scholarship. I started receiving emails from them every week so I was always seeing their name in my email inbox. I didn’t get the scholarship but I was happy that I applied.
Then 2 months later, I was on my way home from school and my father called me and asked me if I still wanted to study at Marangoni. I said, “Yes, of course, daddy! Why?” He said, “Ok, we all are going to Milan in a week. I booked the winter short course in Fashion Design for you and while you study, we will be traveling around. And of course, whenever you can, you’ll join us! Wow! I was literally crying!
I am so thankful that I have that opportunity! We all have it, we just need to believe. I remember thinking and saying to my mom, “Mom, I did it again! I attracted what I wanted. God sent you the money and the love to share it with me and to say yes to one of my dreams!
My advice is to act as if you already have it and get prepared. Start preparing your suitcase, learn the language, make friends from that city, get involved in your dream so it will become your reality.
All my love to everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
