My dream city is located in another country. I have always had an obsession about going there ever since my childhood. Stories about the city inspired me greatly. I wanted to study there after high school but things did not go that smooth at all. My parents wouldn’t allow me to go there alone and I had no money to begin with. I never picked a college to study at in my city so I stayed at home a whole year after high school.

I took to studying for an entrance exam but I failed it. Things started to get worse and I started crying at night. I often had suicidal thoughts as I didn’t want anything other than my dream, which seemed really impossible as I thought I was not qualified. Then the real struggle started when I decided to prepare for the entrance exam again, breaking yet another year. My parents were worried and my relatives started criticizing us behind our backs.

It was during this time when I saw the book The Secret on my friend’s dorm shelf. She was showing me other books but my eyes caught only The Secret, as I had already watched the DVD when I was young. I started reading it and day by day. somehow things started to change. My scores in practice tests increased. My heart still ached for my dream which I had given up the year before. I still remember crying bitter tears when I watch videos about people from my country studying in my dream city. So, I decided to ask the Universe for what I wanted. I chose the month of December for all of my wishes to come true. I decided that I would spend my Christmas in my dream country.

Soon I got my wish! That December was unforgettable as I had won some prize money, enough to cover all my costs abroad and I received the tickets to my dream country. I also got the letter of acceptance for the university of my choice. To top it all off, I had been learning the new language, enough so that I can read and write it well. I am so happy and I am moving there next month!!

Thank you, Rhonda Byrne, for giving me this wonderful gift. I am grateful to you and the Universe always.
