“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao-Tzu : Tao Te Ching


           It has taken a lot of hard work, time, and prayer to get to this one moment, and the first step was making my dream into a goal. When I first went to the Study Abroad Office at my university during Sophomore year, I was told that Italy was hard to get into and I should consider going somewhere else. I was pretty devastated by it, and then I read some articles and books about the law of attraction. One of the articles had 7 steps to use the law of attraction: Meditate, Be sure about what you want and when you do decide don't doubt yourself,  Ask the Universe for it, Write your wish down, Feel it, Show Gratitude, and Trust the Universe. I realized that if I believed that I would never get to study abroad in Italy, then that is what I would attract. So after following the steps and remaining positive throughout my whole experience, my dreams and goals are being fulfilled. After applying for universities in Italy and the Gilman Scholarship, working almost every shift at my job, getting accepted, and all the other things I had to do to get here, I can say I made it and give thanks to everyone and everything that helped me get to this moment. I am in Milan, Italy right now and words still can't express how grateful I am. So if you want to travel the world or you are going to study abroad, my advice is to stay positive, look into the law of attraction, don't accept defeat, and stay focused so the things that you truly want will come your way.
