How I Magically Got An iPhone.
Submitted by: Mia
Washington17 year old girl.
I should have put this on a long time ago, but for my 15th birthday I really wanted the new white iPhone 4.
Not that many people had it yet and it really stuck out to me. My parents said they would pay the $200 for the phone but they wouldn’t pay the $30 a month for the internet that you have to have to buy the iPhone.
I kept trying to find ways to get around this for a few weeks, but I knew I couldn’t pay $30 a month and couldn’t find any other way.
I had read The Secret a few months prior and it occurred to me that I should use it for this. So two weeks before my birthday I started imagining what it would feel like to hold my white iPhone and texting my friends on it and having it in my pocket. I tried to feel as good about it as I could.
So on my birthday we went down to the Verizon Store and one of the sales clerks greeted us and immediately asked my mom what her profession was. She told him she was a real estate agent and he started fiddling with his ipad.
Then he told us that because she was a real estate agent that she was entitled to a $30 discount each month!!!
My jaw almost dropped! 30 dollars on the dot!
So I got my iPhone as you would imagine!
I think this is such a cool story because there was absolutely no reason for him to do that and I have never heard of anyone getting a discount for their profession at Verizon, especially a 360 dollar per year one.
I continue to use The Secret and am so grateful I found it as such a young age! I hope to move to California soon 😉
