Immediately, I raised my hand and said I was a Christian Scientist. This isn’t something I would normally share, but I felt compelled to talk about it. My teacher seemed very enthused and asked what Christian Science was. I was suddenly aware that everyone in the room was staring at me, and I felt my face turn bright red.
