Mother Teresa was a gift to the world. She devoted almost all of her life caring for poorest people there were, and giving them something every human needs: love. Mother Teresa represents what ever steward should be. People may say she wasted her own life to help others but she truly alive through all her services. I want to be a self sacrificial person like Mother Teresa and get the most out of my life by helping other people. Many people would want someone with good looks or a lot of money, but if I could have anyone as a friend, it would be Mother Teresa because she knows how to truly love a person and show compassion. She displays the best qualities in a person and shows the world that there are good people on this planet.
The things most important to Mother Teresa were God and the poor people. She was impacted by poverty when she was teaching in a school in Calcutta. The amount of poor people was so great that she asked permission to leave her order to go live with the poorest people in Calcutta and help them. Mother Teresa didn't have money but she persevered and had help from volunteers and funds from other people. She not only helped the poor but she also learned medical techniques and helped treat sick people who could not afford medical treatments. It is clear Mother Teresa did this out of the bottom of her heart and not for fame or her own gain.
People were programmed to be with other people and have sympathy for them. Now a days if I happen to go into a new house there is three sinks in one bathroom. I wonder what happened to their just being one sink and sharing things with the people you live with. Everything is so separated these days and people are becoming more selfish only thinking about themselves. The first time I actually learned about who Mother Teresa really was, was when I was at mass at the Sacred Heart Church in Ocean Beach. The stories I heard of her work and attitude made me want to learn more about her. When I see Mother Teresa and her ways of sharing everything she had with strangers and helping everyone, I knew she was who I wanted to be like when I got older. She has inspired me to help people, even if I don't know them, and sometimes even if I don't like them.
