Who is too Judge
Eva Smith grew up in the 1960s. She was forced to conform and was lucky to achieve her dreams considering how trapped she felt in her unlucky past. She found what she considered to be the good life. Eva learned at a young age she did not like the idea of religion. She had an innate dislike for being controlled and judged which stemmed from a rigid upbringing. She was abused at the hands of her brother and her parents never did anything about it so she grew resentful and projected it into all aspects of her life around her. Conformity and authority were her prime enemies. Criticism never sat well with her and her stubborn nature became a defense mechanism to shield her from the darker nature of the people she grew up with. During Eva’s early childhood she was forced to attend Catholic schools and praise the Catholic religion. Eva’s mother was an avid believer in the Catholic religion and sent all four of her children to catholic schools. They started in pre-school and continued all the way through high school. It was common in Eva’s St. Paul neighborhood to attend Catholic schools. Eva obviously disliked the idea of learning about religion in school because of her experience there and lack of protection from authority figures. She wasn’t alone. She met her best friend, Linda, in high school. Linda also questioned the Catholic religion without receiving. As they grew up together, they both rebelled against the Catholic tradition. Eva and Linda would street race on Sunday morning with the boys because, in the late 1970’s, all of the police would attend mass so they weren’t likely to get caught. She said, “we knew we had an hour time limit so we could only get in four races.” Eva hated school ever since she was a little girl because she always questioned her teachers about religion and why she had to believe in it but never received answers that went beyond stern lectures. In grade school, Eva and her classmates were
