Mumbai19 years, college student, wanting to make a difference in the world.
I’m in my second year of degree college. I had flunked in one of my psychology paper’s in the 3rd semester because I had fallen ill during exams and was not able to study to my full potential. That’s when I started applying the law of attraction and thanked got everyday for getting psych-anthro in my third year. But, I guess there was some negativity left.
In my 4th semester exam, I studied not as much as I probably should have. And in the interview for psych majors my head of department pointed out that there was not much improvement in my marks. And the very fact I had to give a retest was pulling me down. She thought it was best for me to take another combination as I would score well in it. But, I protested saying I wasn’t interested in the third subject and that getting psych-anthro was what I wanted to do from the very beginning. Not convinced, she gave me a last chance i.e my retest. I could sit for the psych orientation but, if i didn’t fare well in my retest, I wouldn’t get half psych.
So, I slogged my brain out, studying day and night, like I had never before. And on the 7th took the retest. I thought I did pretty decent, but still wasn’t sure.
On the day of the results, turns out I had scored 50 on 60, which was quite an improvement in my case. Thus, the head of department took a leap of faith and gave me my desired subject combination!!
I thank god everyday for all the things and people he’s blessed me with. I thank god, for this obstacle as it taught me to be stronger and braver. And also, that nothing is impossible if you give it your all. Also, I would like to dedicate this story to my head of department for giving me that extra push and making me work towards getting what I wanted not out of pity but, because I deserved it. And I thank The Secret for sharing its immense possibilities.
