One of my friends introduced me to The Secret this past year. When I purchased a copy and read it all, it changed my vision on life. Now whenever I think negative thoughts I quickly change it into positive thoughts because I am truly dedicated to The Secret.

Since the beginning of my Junior year in High School my plan for my Senior year was to get CO-OP. CO-OP is a class where you have a job and get to leave school early to go to work. I decided to use The Secret to achieve my goal.

When I visited my counselor in the second semester to set my schedule for my Senior year he asked me if I wanted to work. I haven’t even told him my plan yet so right then I knew The Secret was already working. I said, “Yes!” a little bit too excited. But my excitement washed away after my counselor told me the requirements I need to have in order to get in CO-OP: 1) Have to have a job. 2) Have to have enough credits to graduate. 3) Have to have three free classes. And 4) Have to pass all my TAKS (Texas.Assessment.Knowledge.Skills.) tests.

Okay, so I told myself, I already have number 2 and 3 taken care of, number 1 I’m going to work on that in the summer. The only one that bummed me out was number 4. Never in my life have I ever passed all of my TAKS tests all at once and never in my life have I ever passed my Science TAKS test, so I thought that this was very impossible to accomplish. When I realized I was sending negative thoughts about this to The Universe I quickly changed it to positive thinking, saying to myself in my mind, “I will pass all of my TAKS tests all at once and get in CO-OP next year,” and believed it. I also wrote it in my notebook that my friend (the one that introduced me to The Secret) gave me on my 17th birthday, where I write all my wishes down as part of The Secret.

Later on, as time passed by, I was paying more attention to all my classes and studying like crazy. I was even asking my teacher’s how many questions I needed to get right in order to pass.

Then the big week came, TAKS week. In each test I was positive about the answers I had chosen and was very focused on each one of them. And every time after we would finish a test all of us students would share opinions about it. Of course this was the common one: “Dude, it was super hard! I’m scared that I failed. Oh my goodness, I wanna cry!” It’s a routine for me every year to join in and repeat it but this time, for the first time, I thought positive about all the tests I had taken and said, “It was easy, I passed.”

The scores came two months later and during the time all of us Juniors were freaking out while I kept it cool and just kept thinking positive thoughts about it and kept repeating in my head, “I am going to have a great summer not going to summer school so I can make up the TAKS. I’m going to have CO-OP next year. Finally, I get to leave school early and only have four classes to deal with. Next year is going to be so relaxing.” Some of my friends would always say, “I’m scared, I don’t think I passed.” And my response will always be, “It was easy, I passed. I know I passed.” After I would say that they would always give me this look on their faces like, “You’re a little bit too sure of yourself. You probably failed.” I would just ignore them because it didn’t matter what they thought, it only mattered what I thought and trust me it’s the truth.

So the scores came in and my first period teacher was telling us individually. My friends were so happy, jumping up and down screaming because they found out they passed and others didn’t look pleased and were upset because they found out they didn’t. Both sides made me nervous and I started to panic, but I reminded myself that panicking is against the law of attraction so I controlled myself.

When class was over I asked my teacher to write down on a piece of paper if I passed. I took the paper, went outside and read, their were my test scores. They were all over 2100, which means passing, but I went back inside to ask my teacher, just to make sure. He told me that that was the passing score and I ran out of the classroom yelling, “I passed everything!” I was so excited that when I opened the door it almost slammed some guy on the face. I would have apologized to him but I was so excited that I was speechless and couldn’t help but wear a smile through out the whole day.

I kept looking at my test scores over and over again not believing that I passed and that it was all just a dream. But I did pass and my dream came true. I looked at my Science score and I couldn’t believe my eyes, 2105! I barely passed that test by 5 points!

My hard work on these tests payed off but The Secret definitely had a big help on all of it. If I haven’t used it I would have been stressed out so much to the point where I would just lose hope and decide to give up and fail. All the ‘me staying calm about the scores’ and lying to my uncle was very, very difficult for me, I’m not gonna lie but in the end it was all worth it. Now I am enjoying my summer with no worries, just relaxing and looking forward on having CO-OP next year and picturing in my head how great my Senior year is going to be.

I recommend The Secret to everyone who are having negative thoughts and doubts. The Secret is the BEST!! I love it with all my heart. Thank You God and The Universe so much! I am grateful for my present that you have given me and I received.
