My lights every worked the only thing I did notice before I tried to give it a jump was that the light were kind of dim, but everything was working. My car still didn't start with a jump start. Now my battery is completely dead nothing turns on.

Since nothing works, are you certain there is no problem at the battery? For example, a broken, loose, or corroded terminal? When you jump started it, by accident were the cables crossed?
I would remove the battery and try to recharge it to see if it will take a charge. Most parts stores will do it for you and then load test the battery to see if it is good.
Try that and let me know what you find.

Hello, I took the battery out and took it to AutoZone the checked it and recharged it. My battery is good so I put it back on. All the lights work, the car sounds like it's going to turn on but it does not turn over. I checked the relays fuse in the trunk and floor panel every thing seem to be fine.

Welcome back:
Is the starter engaging and turning the engine, but the engine refuses to start? If that is the case, I need you to check for spark and fuel to the engine.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-an-ignition-system
Let me know what you find. Once we get it running, we can then determine if the alternator is working.
Take care,
Joe

Hi and welcome back:
If you are referring to fuel pressure testing, yes. What to do is see if it will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then the problem is fuel related. If it still doesn't start (even for a couple seconds) then most likely it is ignition related.
Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions. Also, most parts stores will lend you a fuel pressure gauge if we get to that point.
Take care,
Joe

Then I would talk to him about that before we continue looking for a problem that he created.
