Newport News, VAI am a 27 and have lived in Newport News most of my life. I am a husband, a father, and an artist. i am currently attending the Art Institute of VA Beach as a Media Arts and Animation major.
Two years ago I stumbled upon The Secret and was absolutely blown away by the message delivered.
I was filled with a feeling that I don’t think I could describe with words. The world made sense for the first time in my life. I was able to make sense of all my passed experiences and understand my current state. Better yet, I could understand how to get to where I really wanted to be.
I have always had a passion for art and it’s many forms. I have always considered myself an artist and have devoted my life to the creation process, despite it’s struggles. I have always wanted to attend school for art. I visited many and tried to make plans to attend but it never came through for one reason or another, primarily money issues.
After watching The Secret the first thing in my mind was school. I declared it. I told everybody around me that I was going.
It seemed impossible. We were living with my in-laws and we were broke. I had faith and I put the lessons I had learned from The Secret to work.
I set an appointment with the Art Institute of VA Beach and started the admissions process. At first I acquired more in loans and grants than I than I thought I would. My payment was going to be something around $125 a month. It was still out of our budget. I started looking into scholarships determined to find a way. I declared a scholarship.
Classes were set to start in the fall and my wife convinced me the time wasn’t right. We had too much on our plate and a school payment was just not in the cards. I agreed and decided I would try again in the winter when the next quarter started.
About two months passed by and I got a call from the school telling me that I had been awarded a scholarship from the school for reasons I still don’t know. My payment now would only be $23 a month. I was ecstatic to say the least.
It gets even better!
A week later I received another call from the school. This time they told me that some classes transferred from when I had gone to tech school and my payment now would be $0 a month!
I did not have to pay a single dime to go to school.
An absolute manifestation without a single doubt in my mind!
