The Joy you Will Find

Paris, Los Angeles, BaltimoreGirl living her dreams!
I have written many stories on here and I am writing another one to say thank you to The Secret and the universe!
While studying abroad in Paris of Spring 2014, which was a dream I manifested because of The Secret, I continued to practice gratitude every day. No matter what I was going through, I said thank you for giving me this, and I truly meant it.
I was emotionally struggling during my last few months studying abroad and I had a hard time concentrating. I missed more class then I probably should have. But I kept practicing gratitude. I also emailed my teachers along the way and told them what was going on. I truly expressed my gratitude in every email I sent. In fact I barely checked my email because I felt that sometimes negative energy can come from it. So whenever I sent an email I expressed gratitude and just let it go. I really focused on The Secret and I took my attention from any negative energy, even from Facebook, for awhile.
Anyways, it was emphasized in the beginning of school that three or more absences is a failure for the class and I did not want that to happen. My teachers were understanding and I honestly didn’t look at their reposes from my emails. I just tried to feel good.
I definitely didn’t assume I was failing my classes, but I wanted to make sure that I was going to get the best grades because I have a scholarship as well, which requires a certain GPA.
So everyday I practiced the Magical Way Out Of Negativity from The Magic. I copied my report card and made the grades I wanted which were straight A’s. Even when my teachers in class told me I could be doing better I made sure that I believed and had faith no matter what.
Since I was going to school under the French system, a lot of students would say how hard it is to get A’s because the grading system is so different. I completely shook that cultural idea off and said I am not worried, I know I will get A’s because I have something they don’t. The Secret.
Note: Also just for a flashback, I got my French visa within a week of me leaving for France, which has never happened and even the woman who was standing next to me when I picked it up said it was like a miracle. I thought back to this and what I attracted and I knew if I could beat the French Government I could definitely beat the French school system.
So back to the story.
I practiced and wrote every day on my gratitude list how happy I am that I got straight A’s. No matter what the appearance was, I held faith. Each time I talked to my mom and she asked how my grades were I said good and that I am doing great.
Even though I was going through a tough period, I never lacked on gratitude and I worked hard to make sure that my teachers knew I was working hard. I had missed a few weeks of classes and even though I would worry sometimes, I thought if I did it once I can do it again. I think one of the great things about The Secret is that I know it’s on my side like the universe. I was reminded to not be blinded by false appearances or as in The Secret video, I wasn’t responding to what was happening or what was being seen, but what I wanted to be seen, which was to have A’s. I said thank you for my straight A’s in my classes and I felt good.
No matter what happened I believed. I love that with The Secret there are no rules and that when people would say, well, since it’s a French school they mostly give out C’s to a lot of study abroad students, which I didn’t listen to.
So when the grades were due I just kept believing. I did get nervous but I then remembered to feel good.
I got A’s!
I was so happy and the way my mom responded was exactly the way I imagined it! My friends were jealous when I announced it on Facebook because they thought getting A’s was hard from a french school, so that is what they got. I believed it was easy and so it was!
Even though I went through a period of sadness I found the good in it and sometimes you have to dig deep but it’s there. I changed the French school system.
For any student or study abroad student out there, you can get straight A’s if you believe. That’s literally all you have to do! Don’t listen to the people who say you can’t, because he who says he can’t and he who says he can. are usually right. Know that you can change your destiny and the universe is always on your side!
I am so happy and I made the Dean’s list for the third time while in College!
