The perfect girl.
Submitted by: Matthew C.
Atlanta, GAI am 14 years of age, a 9th grader. My dad introduced me to "The Secret" after he and my mom got a divorce. I was skeptical at first, but I own the book, and have read it about four times now.
I was in a depression after the separation of my dad and my mom about two years ago. My mom was short tempered with me, and my dad seemed very distant.
About a year ago, my dad introduced me to “The Secret” saying I can have anything I want simply by asking, and keeping a positive attitude regarding my request to the universe.
I kept a positive attitude towards my mothers behaviour, and always hoped for a better day tomorrow if the one today I had was bad.
So I had been keeping a good attitude, becoming happy, and focused on the goods of my life, but I hadn’t asked the universe for anything yet. So one morning, as I am sitting in the shower on a school morning, I close my eyes, and lean my head back thinking “I really want a girlfriend, that is beautiful, funny, will laugh at my bad jokes, enjoys the same music I do, won’t be creeped out that I play games (specifically an online game known as World of Warcraft), and that she is overall easy to talk to.”
After making my request I went about my day at school, imagining the girl I just thought up. I saw us listening to music on my iPod, going to movies, holding her hand.
A few days later, my friend and I go to my school to help out with some stuff. And I met her, her name is Katherine. She is exactly what I asked for only a few days earlier. She is the perfect girl, and when I think “why do I deserve this?” I think about The Secret.
Thank you.
