After church every Sunday, Andrea would devote an hour and go help at the community homeless shelter. She always let off a positive vibe and she would put joy into so many people’s lives when they believed they had no hope.

“You are confined only by the walls you build yourself.”
“Don’t settle for mediocrity. Take a chance. Take a risk. Rekindle it. It’s all worth it.”
A message to everyone is that I believe you should live your life to the fullest you can be that day and grow greater and greater everyday. Always show love. Makeup any fights. It is never worth the madness. Never do things to regret because you never know when the end may be

People with this disorder can be vindictive, selfish, cunning person. They do not care who is harmed or hurt. Abigail was the leader of all of the girls that were seen dancing and calling on evil spirits. Abigail would threaten the girls by saying if they said anything, she would kill or harm them severely. She wanted what she couldn’t have, so that made her psychologically unstable. Abigail William’s would be convicted in today’s court because she gave many threats to kill the girls who were with her the night they were dancing if they spoke up in court, her behavior caused harm to many even though she may not have physically done damage herself and due to previous court cases, some people diagnosed with Narcissism were found innocent due to their mental instability but others were guilty because they were mentally unstable.
