Major wake up call
Submitted by: Sang Hwa L
UKA girl in secondary school trying to rediscover The Secret.
My school did the Intermediate Maths Challenge a few weeks ago and I thought I had done all right. I soon found out after comparing answers with my friends that I had got at least 4 or 5 questions wrong. I like to think I am quite good at maths and I had received at least gold in all my other years so I was upset that this would be my first year to get a silver or a bronze, especially since I was trying for the Kangaroo (the next level if you get a gold). I tried to accept the fact and at one point even believed that I wouldn’t even get a bronze.
On the day before our results, I discovered that my friend had got into the Kangaroo/Olympiad and I became really depressed. However, I told myself that I would use The Secret and just told myself that I had placed in the Kangaroo. It didn’t seem at all possible and it felt like a lie but I ignored my brain and just smiled and believed. I didn’t necessarily get the feeling of complete belief but I didn’t let any doubt come into my mind.
On the day, I got in to the Kangaroo. I was so shocked when my teacher told me that I didn’t hear my score or anyone else’s after that. I was just so shocked that this had actually worked that I couldn’t breathe. The room suddenly seemed to ‘disappear’. Now I am trying to persuade my dad to let me go on this trip to Germany and I will use The Secret and know it will work this time as well!
