Mother Teresa A Woman Of Courage

Courage is having the strength to deal with fear and danger. Mother Teresa is a woman of courage because she shows the strength to help the poor through their tough time in their live. Her courage is shown through her devotion to help others and her mission to give them a better outlook on life. Mother Teresa is a true inspiration to others being that she has positively influenced them to create organizations, charities and many more. Mother Teresa's mission was so powerful that others who were inspired by it wanted to do something that could help those who were in need and make a different in their community. Community service and Nursing both connects to her mission in which they both strive to deliver care, support, service to everyone holistically. This also connects to the mission of NDMU and the service and devotion in being a Notre Dame Woman. It basically describes the aspects of a Notre Dame Woman and how they engage in service to others and build inclusive communities. She is a woman of courage and truly fits this description because she devoted her life to helping to make a positive change in the world. Her devotion has saved lives of others and given the less fortunate something they will be forever grateful for and that is hope. I will be discussing the broader aspects of my personal experiences and how examples of mother Teresa can inform us about community service and nursing Mother Teresa was born– with the name Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu – on August 26, 1910

In 1948, he was granted permission to leave her job to "follow Christ into the slums."3

She began by starting an open–air school for the children of Calcutta. She did not have any funding for her school, but that did not stop Mother Teresa. After a couple years many people started volunteering and helped fund the school.

In 1948, Mother Teresa came across the first woman she cared for. She found a dying woman that was half eaten by rats and ants lying on the streets of Calcutta. Mother Teresa took the lady to the hospital, but they refused to admit her. She then would not leave the hospital until they accepted the lady, and stayed by her side until she died. From that point on she dedicated the majority of her life to caring for the poor.

Just two years later in 1950, Mother Teresa and her associates were approved within the archdiocese of Calcutta as the Missionary of Charity. After hearing this she went to the town hall to ask for a place she could take these people and care for them. An employee of health services took her to the Temple of Kali, which became known as Nirmal Hrida, which means pure heart. Nirmal Hirda also became known as the home of the dying. Within 24 hours Mother Teresa and her fellow sisters started gathering dying Indians from the streets of Calcutta and brought them to Nirmal Hriday. There, they were cared for, during the last moments of their lives.

One of the biggest improvements we have made in such short amount of time has been the internet, which is something we consider as an essential and we use in everyday tasks to do various things but the most important function of this technology is the communication. Mother Teresa would most defiantly take advantage of something this great to reach out to as many people she can by starting blogs, using social media and spreading word about her cause. Our society today needs an inspiration and someone who is as detriment to help. A great cause like this needs more attention that it's getting. With mother Teresa and a strong tool like the internet, I believe would be a strong combination that would change our world for the better. As of today we have advanced in not just developing the internet but developing better, faster and more efficient transport systems. Faster trains, plans etc. means getting to places easier and faster. Mother Thresea would benefited from this and take advantage of it the best she possibly can, getting to places quicker can make Mother Theresa work a lot more efficient because she can help even more people and go to different countries to spread work about her
