I was always shy, silent and not thought to be an intelligent child. But I never failed to dream. I wanted to be famous, beautiful and always wanted that one award that the first three toppers of our school used to get every year.

One day when I was in 8th standard, when I was very sad about my life, my mom gifted me this book called The Secret.

By the mid-term of 8th, I had gotten the highest marks in my class in about every subject.
After that things took shape. I started receiving compliments from everyone about my looks and poise.

When it was my 10th, I decided that I wanted 98% with a 100/100 in Mathematics and Computer Applications. So I had put up a paper that I had written “98%” on my study desk. Up until my prelims, I had gotten 75% in every exam. I had almost lost hope and decided to remove the paper as I thought people might make fun of it. But, I didn’t.

After my Mathematics and Computer exam I came out of the exam hall saying only one sentence “I don’t think I will get 100.” But deep in my mind there was hope and a desire to have it.

Then it was result day and I was amazed to see 100/100 in both the subjects!! The percentage was 97%. I didn’t achieve my target, but c’mon, who would not be happy with a 97? The next day I came to know that I was third in the school, too!

When I look back to the time I had nothing, I cannot believe it is the same me.

Thanks Rhonda Byrne. Thanks Universe.

I am currently wishing to get into IIT Bombay. Hope Universe will grant this wish of mine too.
