My teacher sent me to the health office

Caroline Ball

It all started when I got some bumps under my nose and chin. I went to school, but my teacher sent me to the health office. The nurse told me that I had impetigo. My mom came and picked me up because it was very contagious. We went home, and we started to pray.

My mom helped me know that I was God's child and He made me spiritual and perfect. God's child couldn't be touched by spots or bumps. I also prayed by thinking how I could not harm anybody with something that was a lie—which was all this disease was. I couldn't give a lie to other people.

The nurse from school said that I had to have a doctor say that it was OK to come back to school. The doctor that I saw a few days later knew that we were Christian Scientists. He told us that I was doing much better and that I could go back to school in a couple of days. I didn't have to take any medicine because the doctor could see that I was healing. And I got to go back to school the next week.
