by: Alex Cissell, Mary Magaret Danahy, and Alexander Hasty
Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910 in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. On August 27, usually referred to as Mother Teresa’s birthday, she was baptized to the name of Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu. Mother Teresa was her own person independent, obedient, and yet she still challenged some notions and expectations. She was very willing to listen and follow her conscience. She really trusted in herself to make the right choice so she always did what she thought was right even if it went against expectations. Although Mother Teresa never thought of becoming a nun until she was 18 her life was centered on the Church. She was fascinated by missionary stories, and could point to places on the map where mission trips took place. When Mother Teresa’s father died, when she was eight, her family encountered many financial crises. Her mother was had strong faith and trust in God. Her mother still raised her children with love, care, and affection. Her mother’s strong beliefs and religious ways inspired Mother Teresa to build up compassion for charity.
Mother Teresa has grown a running orphanage home of 12 nuns to over 5,000 nuns. She found missionaries of charity, and homes for all disabled people like diabetes, blind, elder, poor, alcoholics. Mother Teresa was important because she helped the poor, and all disabled. Mother Teresa has not yet been canonized, but Pope John Paul II recognized her and she will be canonized soon. Mother Teresa has also received a lot of awards including The Noble Peace Prize. She established a home for AIDS patients. Mother Teresa has accomplished a lot, and will always influence our work.

She worked hard in the church in the beginning of her courier she was a sister of the church and then she became a mother of the church. Her goals where to help the hungry, the needy, the orphans, the homeless, and the people that were about to die. By giving them hospitals, schools, food, and help she gave them hope.
