The World Cup
Submitted by: Valeria Rubio G.
Oaxaca, MexicoI´m a 17 year old girl, I´m about to finish high school and my next goal is to study architecture, and why not, to become one of the best in my country. My mother bought the book of The Secret like 2 months ago, but I read it first because I read faster, but we decided to give the book to my dad this Christmas as a gift, because he deserves to find more happiness and everything he dreams of.
This happened like 2 and a half years ago. I was about to celebrate my 15th year party, and my Momo and I knew how I wanted to celebrate my 15th.
In that moment my most deep wish was to be in Germany for the FIFA World Cup in 2006. Since the very moment we decided that we wanted to celebrate that way, we just never asked ourselves, are we going? No, we only affirmed it like 100000000 times – We are going to Germany.
At that time I didn’t know the Secret. But something inside me knew that I was going to be in that place, and I focused on that, and kept all the money I could. But we only had 1 year to earn money.
My mom bought the airplane tickets as soon as she got the money – it was like 4 months before the event. But we also had to earn money for the food, hotels, souvenirs, etc.
I don’t know how it happened, but finally I got like $10, 000, my dad finally found money to join me and my mom, and my mom finally rented a house and got more money for our dream trip….
We went to Germany, Holland, Luxembourg, Prague, France, much more than we thought we could, only in about 9 months, and we are not rich. And finally I knew that Mexico was playing against Portugal, against my dear Cristiano Ronaldo!!! It was 1000 times better that I thought it could be.
This is how I lived The Secret, but I didn’t know it until now.
Sorry for the mistakes, but I speak Spanish.
