In 1999, when I was in ninth grade, I became ill and saw a doctor. The doctors couldn't make a diagnosis for a long time. Finally, they took an X-ray of my lungs and said that I had pneumonia. By this time, my mom and I had been studying Christian Science for four years.

When I was thinking about what to do after this news, the thought came to me that God was the healer, and that I could do without medicine — without any material methods of treatment.

So I didn't take any of the pills or injections that the doctors prescribed for me. Instead, I turned to my mom for help, and we began to pray together for healing.
