Honours student..I Knew it!!!:):)
Submitted by: Catherine L
South Africa , DurbanA 15 year old girl that is trying to believe in nothingness so that it can become somethingness.
I always wanted to write something on this page. I thought before maybe I should reach my dream first, then write about my amazing experience but ultimately I realised that by not writing about how amazing my life is now I would never be able to receive the amazing things that I want for the future because I wasnt being grateful for the great achievements that I have now.
This year I started Grade 10. It was crazy exciting and I could finally drop the horrible subjects that I always hated and do the ones Im really good at. Because the time is coming soon for me to choose which university I want to go to, I decided that this year was the year that I was going to excel. You see, I have known about the Secret for a while and I have used it here and there when I felt like it. I never really used it and believed the way I wanted to so I kinda just forgot about it. Ive always done well in school. Ive been at in the top of my grade every now and then but when I fell short I fell hard. This year I want to be at the top. I have no need to be first second or third but just in the circle of the Honours students.
So that was my goal for this year. Thats when I stumbled across the Secret to Teen power. It was so much more relatable and interesting for me because it was about people my age and how their dreams came true. I decided to start using the Secret again and I would read the stories under the category “education” as much as I could to see the amazing things that had happened to other people and it seriously helped! Also I bought myself an awesome journal where every day I write what Im thankful for and what my aspirations are but in the present tense as if they have already happened. And guess what? Thats what started happening! Each day I would go to school feeling confident and I would walk into to class thinking “I know that I am going to know everything in this class,” and slowly thats what started to happen. When tests came I would feel that I was going to do well and that I would know how to answer the questions. Every day I wrote in my journal that I would be one of the top in my grade and that I would receive Honours( 85%- average) no matter what.
Two days ago it was the last day of term. I was so nervous and excited because I KNEW that I would be an honors student. When they started calling out names they started with merit students (75-79%) then colour students (80-84) and my name wasnt called. I was so nervous my heart was about to leap out of my chest!! But I knew in my heart they would call my name… and guess what? That is exactly what happened!! I was so happy and proud of myself because I knew that I deserved this. I was one of the few girls to receive an awesome white badge. I felt so good I wanted to jump up and down and scream for joy:)
When I got home I plastered my report card with all A’s onto my vision board and my certificate to never let me forget my goal for next term… Honours:)
Thank you SOOOOO much to the Secret I know that I can be, have and do anything I want. I will continue to read all the amazing stories to give me hope and faith. I hope that this has helped someone anyone.
