WinnipegI'm 16 years old. I live with a family of four with three pets. I'm in grade 11 and doing well in my studies. I have a job and a career. I'm a waitress for my job, and I do magic shows with my brother as my career. :) I love being artistic, and I enjoy my friends. I've always liked life, but now I'm starting to love it. :)
Lately, I’ve become very lazy with physical activity, ever since Ive been working. When I was younger, I was active in sports and everything else. I remembered when I was younger, the thing I enjoyed the most was dancing. I quit after eight years of it and haven’t done it for probably five years. I miss it so much. I would always let my soul out to the music, therefore I wanted to get active again and I decided to look for a Zumba dance class. I was introduced to this dance in gym class and I just loved it!
For many months, I had been looking for Zumba dance classes everywhere. I did find a Zumba class with my best friend and we were going to drop in, but we never made the class due to traffic and the time we arrived, it was too late, so, I decided to give up.
Later on, another good friend of mine was telling me about the book, “The Secret”. She was noticing I wasn’t as happy as I usually was. She told me if I read, “The Secret” that it would help me see life in a better and greater perspective, as well as get what I want. She had finished reading the book, and said it transformed her life with very happy and positive thoughts. For a while, I wasn’t very convinced and didn’t think much of it.
A few months slowly went by and she was still noticing I’d been a little down. She reminded me about the book “The Secret” and recommended me buying it. I was a bit skeptical of buying it and I wasn’t sure if I should actually get it, but I decided why not? So I did buy it, and it was the best choice I’ve made! I’m almost done reading the book and I’m in love with the book, myself, I’m happier, and life has been great!
During the reading of “The Secret”, I decided to try and get into Zumba classes again. It was something I did want. I found a few Zumba classes that got my interest and asked my dad if I could join it. He was fine with the idea and helped me sign up. Sadly, the class I wanted was full! My dad put me on the waiting list instead. I was a little disappointed, especially since I was the sixth one on the waiting list, but I decided to cheer up and started to think positively. From reading the book, I decided to use the advice it offered. For instance, I started to visualize actually doing the Zumba dance. I started to say, “thank you” to the universe, pretending I was already in the class and I was receiving the lessons.
A week after, I got a call from my father and he told me I got into the class. I was thrilled. I wasn’t really surprised since I felt like I was already in the class, but I was still excited and ready to pursue the dance class I had been wanting to do for months!
“The Secret” has begun to transform my life. I am thrilled I took my friends advice to buy it! I am very happy, good things have been happening, and more are yet to come!
