A Quick Look
At the life of Mother Teresa

In 1910 on August 27th a baby was born in the country of Skopje. Her name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. This baby will grow up to give her life to work for the poor and for God. She will make a huge impact on our world. People will call her Mother Teresa.
Her good work started when she was just a kid. Her mom taught her and her two siblings how to help the less fortunate. She also raised them to be good Catholics
At age 18 Mother Teresa made the decision to become a nun. She started off becoming a member of a religious order called the Lorento Sisters. The Lorento Sisters were a quiet group that focused on mass and communion. They taught here different languages so she would be ready when she got moved to Calcutta India. There she was assigned to teach at St. Mary’s High, first as a geography teacher, and eventually as Head Mistress. (Vanora p. 20)
Mother Teresa loved it at St. Mary’s, but she knew that she was meant to work for the poor. After lots of patience and getting permission from the Lorento Sisters, she was allowed to leave. She spent the first few months learning with a medical missionary. Then she came back to Calcutta the help the poor, and to live like them. (Giff p. 9)
Very soon after starting, people started to join her. They eventually formed the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity, with Mother Teresa as their leader. They did countless things to help people. They gave out food, water, and medicine. They opened a school, a Home for the dying, and an orphanage.
On September 5th 1997 the world lost an amazing woman. Mother Teresa used her whole life to serve God and the poor. She was a humble woman who cared only about helping others. Although she is gone now, her legacy and the things she did still live on in the people she inspired and helped.
