She doesn’t believe in any certain religion in general but she seeks advise from a Christian leadership. When she needs strength and motivation she prays to the higher being. She believes she can do anything if she puts her mind to it. Not being a part of a religion does not make her feel less because it is a choice she made for her self with nobody pushing her. Their might not be a set of guide lines she follows like other religion but she believes that the higher power will protect her. Community

Brianna had started to have trouble in school and he started showing effects of this in class by not caring, and being rude. Theresa and Brianna later find out that Brianna had to repeat second grade. Theresa was heartbroken by this and had no idea what to do. Theresa starts getting together with some of her friends and talks about her problem. Little did she know her friends were also having the same problems with their children.

While growing up with her father, her religion was forced upon her, as for their punishment the children were sentenced to “the verse”, in which they were required to right out one hundred lines direct from the bible by memory. She doesn’t seem to enjoy the idea of faith, but there is no doubt that she realizes it’s
However the individual hardly ever ate breakfast which isn’t good for her as she will feel tiered throughout the day. In order to avoid that I gave her a breakfast that are high in fiber along with foods that she likes. The tables are both shown below:
Her first college was even a Baptist College even though she stated that didn’t really matter to her. She would always turn to her religion during tough times when she was feeling down about killings happening around her and when she was afraid of the night riders is when she would start praying. When she was consistently going to Sunday church she would study hard but I don’t think the influenced her the most. I think she studied hard because that’s what she knew how to do and that’s what came easy for her. It seems to me that she was more forced to join the church and it was the pressure from her mother that made her join but it seems like it didn’t have that much of an effect on her life. It was just a part of her life for so long but it didn’t influence her the most. I think her religion was important in her development and in the way she thinks but it wasn’t the greatest influence on her
Her grandmother was catholic and then something happen in the catholic church and she became a Christian and now tells everyone about her faith.
She eats healthy exercises but there’s no change in her weight. There are 2 out of 3 Americans that are overweight and obese the documentary Fed Up states. Researchers think that obesity is a form of cancer. People are overweight because of things that happen in our country. Well to me living the country that we do we’re very unhealthy were a very fat country we have fast food places everywhere. For an example In- N- out and Mcdonalds, are super unhealthy. Although there’s some healthy places out there so we think but it’s more easier to go and get food from the fast food places because a burger is a dollar a fry's are a dollar. However on the other hand we have healthy stores out there but it’s expensive to eat and perpetuate buying the foods. Because if you really think about it caucasian people are the majority of people who buys the healthy food because they have the money to do so. Growing up not being the riches but still having money to provide for everyone in the house and getting food stamps and wic vouchers to provide milk, cereal, cheese, and eggs and having a EBT (eating better today) card. It’s still hard to get healthy foods because you're only limited to some stores and not all the healthy stores you can use your EBT cards at. I think that at the end of the day it is the people's fault but it’s also the government's fault because they wouldn’t have to go through what

She was never given any spiritual background and has developed a religious outlook on her own, I can best describe her worldview and Pantheistic mixed with Christianity. Pantheism, as stated by Levine (1994) is “the view that everything that exists constitutes a unity” and that this unity is divine. She views the world as inherently supernatural but believes that humanity is best served by working to further itself along a secular humanist line of though. When asked about the possibility of spiritual healing she had to wrestle with the question for a while. She stated that she believed that spiritual healing is possible, but it best of us as humans to never overly rely on spiritual or religious beliefs when health is at issue; in her words “It can happen, just don’t count on it”.
Danielle does everything she can to keep her child, and get both her and her child away from John. There was lack of support given to Danielle by the courts, Child Protection Services, and law officials.
