America!

Submitted by: Meabh D

Ireland

I am 16 years old from Ireland

I was given the teen version of The Secret around 2 years ago for Christmas from my parents as they are firm believers in The Secret.

I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then I’ve always tried to apply The Secret to everyday life, always thinking positively and whatnot. I’ve also always waited for my moment when I just knew The Secret was real and I would want to share my story and it finally came.

I am from Ireland In the province of Ulster, which is in the north and there is a project that happens every year called The Ulster Project and what it does is bring teenagers over from Ireland to America to stay with American family’s for a month to break down boundaries and have lots of fun. Leading up to my interview to get on it, I always imagined myself being in American and I just had the feeling that I was going to get on, I even put signs up around my bedroom that said America so that I could remind myself to always think positively about getting on. After my interview and a few weeks later I received the letter telling me if I had been accepted. In my head I could see a huge YES written in the letter and I was already talking to my friends as if I’d gotten on. But when the letter finally came I was extremely disappointed to read that I had not been accepted, it almost made me loose total faith in The Secret.

In my head I would imagine getting a phone call being told that maybe someone had dropped out or that another space had become available. If you go on the Ulster Project, it is certain that you have an absolutely amazing time and experience so I was really upset. I received the letter in November saying that I didn’t get on. but in April of the next year I received a phone call from a woman saying she was from the Ulster Project and asking for my mums phone number saying that she couldn’t speak to me until she spoke to my mum.

When she eventually phoned me back, she said that there were two extra spaces in the project and would I want to go on it? Of course I screamed YES down the phone! I ran into my sister’s room, she was sleeping and I was screaming “I am GOING TO AMERICA!!!!!” I’d never heard of anything like this happening for the Ulster project so I never imagined it would happen and that I would actually get on after being so disappointed.

I’ve been home from America for nearly 3 weeks now. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to stay with whilst I was in Tennessee. I can’t imagine not going to America, my whole life had been changed. I now have so many amazing friends and I want to go to university in America.

Because of The Secret I focused on what I wanted and I got it.

The Secret is amazing and I’m so happy to finally have my own story to share!!
