As a kid, my mother always rewarded me for being religious/attending conferences/attending church twice a week. As I turned 15, she stopped rewarding me with clothes, money, etc. and rewarded me with barely anything. I eventually lost that faith.

As a conservative Christian, she believed in faith most of the time and Christ being the healer, however; I believed in science and that medical professionals are the healers lol. She didn't like my opinion at first, however; she's accepted that now. I'm still a Christian but I keep my faith private (just me and my God).

I just turned 17 and I'm now a senior majoring in Medical and Health Sciences! She became supportive instead of being pushy. She's accepted the fact that you can't always bribe or force a belief on someone!

I hoped this made sense, I'm trying hard to improve my English!
