How I did it
How to take a surfing lesson
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I went online and researched surf schools in my area and made a lesson reservation. I also went to Wal-Mart about bought a pair of board shorts to ward off surfers' rash on my legs. The whole 'how to do it' part is pretty simple, just a phone call and a shopping trip. The whole surfing part itself was harder in comparison, but totally worth it. I've never felt that exhilaration in my life. It was difficult and so tiring after an hour, but… Read how I did it…

How to meet Amma
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel loved

How I did it: I checked Amma's website to see when she was visiting my area and actively chose to go to her darshan. I arrived early, 2 hours before her scheduled entry, and got in line for a darshan token. I was in the first group, A1, and was ushered into the darshan hall around 9. We received tokens and then moved to new seats. I was very impressed with the volunteers who helped organize the event. It went very smoothly. The hall was filled with cha… Read how I did it…

Go to Comic Con
London Super Comic Con

I went to the London Super Comic Con and had a fantastic time! I dressed up as Alana from my favorite comic Saga, though compared to the other cosplayers’ outfits, it would have been easy to assume that I wasn’t in a costume. I listened to a presentation about Spiderman by write Dan Slott and got him to autograph my copy of Superior Spiderman #1. He was really nice and even posed for a few pictures with me. Totally worth the 2 hour wait in line.

Loan 19: Alba Lucia

It’s clear to Alba, 30, that her priority is her family’s well-being and that to attain it any sacrifice is small. Because of this, she decided five years ago to leave the firm she worked for to care for her children who are 15 and 5 years of age. At the same time, she decided to open a small store at home to cover household expenses and guarantee better living conditions for her children. Today, she’s happy with her business and feels that it was the best decision because her work allows her to care for her children.

Her greatest dream is to see her business grow to become a self-service market. She’s currently asking for a loan to buy school supplies to increase her sales level and take advantage of the back-to-school season. She hopes to continue growing as a micro businesswoman and to improve her family’s quality of life.
