What I find interesting she cares more about other people than she care's about her self

I chose this person because i read the first page about Mother teresa caring for abandoned babies - there was a picture of her with a dirty baby - and I really wanted to learn more.

Mother Teresa's dad died and they lost everything they had.

I think IT wAS HARD LIVING WITHOUT SOMEONE WHO SHE LOVED AND GREW UP WITH.

Mother Teresa promised to live like the poor.

She took care of babies that weren't hers.

I think she felt like it wasn't fair because some people got wonderful things and some people had a hard time, and had to look for food on the street and drink dirty water.

Agnes wanted to become a missionary nun.

She had to leave her family, give up getting married or having children and move to a far away country.

I think this is bravery and hardship because it would be hard to give up the company of your family. Family is special. She was brave to be a nun because it requires a lot of work and you have to believe in jesus.

even when she didn't have a lot of money and sad things were happening, she kept working hard to help people. she did the same unpleasant jobs like scrubbing toilets and mopping floors as all the nuns even though she was in oharge.

I think it was gross and hard and she kept going because she wanted to help babies.

SHE Taught THE POOR HOW TO use SOap AND WATER TO CLEAN THEMselves. i think mother teresa didn't like them being dirty and unhealthy. being clean keeps people healthy!

i'm a changemaker when i help the bay.

i care for other people.

My Change maker is connected to gandhi because they both helped people in india i

A changemaker is a person who can help change things that aren't good for the world.

Poverty means being poor. Mother teresa helped people who were poor.

I saw a picture of mother teresa giving a person an apple and another picture of mother teresa holding an abandoned baby.

Mother teresa gave babies hope because she saved them from being left in the streets.
