Mother Teresa By Angela Searcy
Mother Teresa was a very important person because of all the amazing things she did. She helped the people in Calcutta who were too weak and poor to take care of themselves.
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Yugoslav, Macedonia. She was the third and last child of Catholic parents. Her father died when she was nine years old. She said it united her family even more.
At the age of ten Agnes went to a state secondary school in Croatia. When she was 12 she pledged, “To go out and give the life of Christ to the people.”
From there she learned many languages and went on to Calcutta, India, where she went to the St. Mary’s High School. There she helped the people at the school. Then she saw the terrible reality outside the school, “How blind I have been,” she said. After that she helped them in any way she could.
She got lots of help from Catholic nuns and other people. She helped everyone that needed her. Everyone loved her, even after her death in 1997, when she was 87 years old.
Mother Teresa was an amazing person because of her selflessness. She put others before herself just because it was the right thing. She never got paid and didn’t care if she was famous, she just did it, and that’s what I love about her.
