How Christian Science changed my life
During my high school years, I was not interested in learning, and I didn’t think or care about my future. I was just having a good time with friends and practicing my sports. But after I graduated from high school, I found myself thinking, “Now what?”
About a week after graduation, for no particular reason that I can remember, I started reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I had heard a little bit about Christian Science, and my father owned a copy of Science and Health, so I decided to read it.
After reading the first chapter, which is about prayer, I got the idea to study chemical engineering at the university in my city of Arequipa in Peru. To get into this program, I had to take an exam, and the acceptance rate was very low. Because I hadn’t been a good student in school, my chances of being admitted were not high. And since I hadn’t learned much during my school years, now I had to learn topics in three months that normally took five years of high school to master.
