DESCRIBE A FAMOUS PERSON YOU ADMIRE

Mother Teresa is a great woman though she has died. She spent her whole life helping the poorest of the poor. Today, she is renowned and respected around the world.

　　Mother Teresa was born on 26th August 1910 and named Christened Agnes Bojaxhiu. She grew up in the Serbian town of Skopje, which was a poor country at that time. Her whole family was Christians. When she was twelve years old, she expressed her wish to become a nun. As she wanted to be sure on her wish, she spent six years pondering about this decision. At last, she made up her mind and worked as a nun to help the poorest people in India.

　　After becoming sister Teresa, she said that she received a message from god that god wanted her to go to the slums to live with the poor. Her work started. She founded a new congregation called the missionaries of Christianity in Calcutta. It helped the poor, the sick, orphans, alcoholics, drug addicts and even the aids patients. Mother Teresa was not afraid of infection. She looked after the patients herself and loved them. She never stopped taking care of them and never considered giving up anyone of them.

　　Her work was made known to the world. Some people supported her but some didn't. She didn't care. She continued her work and set up other missionaries around the world. She gave love to all the poor in other parts of the world, not only in India. Although she was seriously ill, she never ceased to help the poor. Her work was recognized by the world when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in peace in 1997. She contributed the money she received to the missionary of charity.

　　Mother Teresa died of cardiac arrest on 5th September 1997 in the missionaries' Calcutta headquarters. Million of people over the world mourned over the loss of this remarkable woman who was a shining example of goodness and love all her life. I regard her as a role model. I wish I could contribute myself for the good of the world like she did. 8. Finding information
