One of the benefits I value most highly about being a Christian Scientist is the liberty and freedom associated with its practice. When my husband accepted a new job in a city across the country, I was disgruntled at having to leave my job and friends. But I also viewed this as a new beginning for me. Prior to this time I had begun pursuing a business degree but had felt over-whelmed and instead pursued a teaching degree.

The desire to obtain a master's degree in business continued, but I was always intimidated by the required entrance examination, the GMAT. (I had never scored well on standardized tests.)

My first attempt on taking test yielded a score so low that I was in the bottom 10 percent of all those who took the test in the United States. I dropped the idea of getting a master's, simply because of the entrance exam requirement.
