As a sophomore in high school, I made a decision that pointed me in the direction of continuous good in my life. I had been attending a Christian Science Sunday School since my early childhood. Although my family leaned toward the basic ideals of Science, they did not attend church regularly, nor did they study and practice it at that time. During my second year in high school the inspired sharing of a dedicated Sunday School teacher encouraged me to give much thought to Christian Science and its part in my life. I came to a point in understanding where I had to decide for myself, "Is this the truth?" I decided that it was.

Shortly after I made that decision, I was prompted to make another decision concerning my future career and college choice. As I am one of a family of ten with moderate income, the high cost of college seemed prohibitive. Yet I trusted that God was leading me, and I held firmly to my commitment. I thought much about God's care for man and knew that if the college I had chosen was the best place for me, God would give me everything I needed to attend.

When freshman year started, I had enough money for the first quarter from the work I had done all summer and during my senior year in high school. The loan I was to receive was not enough to cover expenses for the entire year. December came, and payment for the next quarter was due. I continued to pray earnestly and to trust God to supply my needs.
