Final Animal: Mother Teresa

A leader is anyone who uses interpersonal skills to influence others to accomplish a specific goal (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, worked on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Her enthusiasm for her work at the United Nations was rooted in her humanitarian convictions and her steady faith in human dignity and worth. With modesty, Eleanor considered her position on the Commission to be one of ambassador for the common people. Her sensible approach, optimism and energy allowed the smooth facilitation of meetings (Eleanor Roosevelt Biography, 1998). Not actually seeing herself as a leader, Eleanor preferred to work as part of a team, not like a boss. She followed her passion of making positive changes in people’s lives and knew

A leader works with their team and communicate. A leader is strong and courageous. They work with their employers or followers. They set goals and have visions and missions. They are ambitious and not bullheaded just because they are in charge. I think Harriet Tubman was a good leader because she was strong and she knew what she wanted. Even though she was illiterate for the most part of her life, she never let that stop her. She freed herself and freed 300 other slaves along with her, created the Underground Railroad, and was the first recorded African- American to serve in the military. I mean we can’t even even wrap our heads around what she went through. We complain about the smallest things when she had narcolepsy and complained not once. I mean she had no education and a chronic sleep disorder and freed 300 people. We have an education with no type of disorder, so we seriously have no right to complain about

Leadership Abilities can have many characteristics and meanings to a person. I took the time to look at characteristics and success of a leader to choose just one of the many leaders to discuss. Some of the characteristics that are involved in leadership is “Responsibility, Learners, share victory, Set an Example, aren’t afraid to make mistakes, push people upward, peacemakers, adapt their thinking, sense of humor, work hard, confident, promote unity, action-oriented, do the right thing, integrity, encourage, persevere, and courageous” (James River Church, 2017). One Leader that shows these characteristics is Mother Teresa.

The pigs, in the book Animal Farm, did not show leadership. I think this, because they didn’t have confidence to express themselves. They didn't show passion about their work.And they also didn’t show sympathy.Selena was a good leader, because she kept fighting for what she dreamed of. Unlike the pigs in Animal Farm, selena Quintanilla embodies the characteristics of a strong leader, because she has confidence, show symphony, and has passion for her work.

Saint Teresa has many qualities to admire and emulate. Even though she may have struggled with her faith, in the beginning, her devotion to God stayed true till the end. She encountered problems at every turn, but she fought for what she believed was right. She trusted in Jesus, knowing that the path ahead of her would cost many sacrifices. God stood by her side through may of her obstacles. Teresa of Jesus is a great example of the Catholic I aspire to become. As Teresa wrote in Interior Castle, “God's will is that no bounds should be set to His

One main question is being did she apply altruistic way too much in her life that she didn’t care much about her? Mother Teresa was “deeply involved” (____) with the churches. As stated before she dedicated herself to the people in need for example “alleviating the girls in poverty though education,” (____) she opened her doors to care for people that were infected with HIV/AID, this list can keep on going but this are just a few example. People describes Mother Teresa as “generous dispenser of divine mercy” (____) which means that she did what she could to help the community. This got to the point that she was called “Saint Teresa” (____), after she died she remained in the spotlight of the whole

Mother Teresa was born in Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia. By 18 she was already serving others as a nun. Later she left with permission to serve the poorest of the poor in Calcutta with nothing to give but her love. She did not care that she was doing it alone with no funds- she just wanted to love them and be there for them. She was so inspiring that people began to fund her work and to come as volunteers. She served till the end and still influences people today.. Her life was the definition of heroism, her life was service and she gave her all to the poor of Calcutta and other poverty stricken areas. She loved all who came to her with an open heart. And that is what made her the hero she is and was- still touching others with the story of her life

Teresa's standing does not consist in what she tells us about herself but in what she tells us about God and his ways with us. Her life and her accomplishments have earned her many labels, reformer, author, foundress, doctor of the church and saint and these, together with her persona have made her one of the great women of all ages. She was born, bred and lived during the most harrowing period in the history of Roman Catholicism, the age of Reformation and Counter-Reformation. When Teresa was possibly two in 1517, somewhere in the north of Germany, a man by the name of Martin Luther was calling for reform in the Catholic Church. At that time, nobody would have guessed or known that this two year old would one day contribute to turn the tides of the Catholic Reformation, pointing the way from outer chaos to inner peace.

When I think of great people who have helped others worldwide, many people come into my thoughts. However, one person stands out from the rest for me: Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was a very influential person who went above her call of duty by helping people and forming the Missionaries of Charity.

What defines a leader? A leader defined by the Oxford dictionary is something or someone that leads. To really know what a leader is I believe we have to go a littler deeper than that. A true leader can change the world. Real leaders can turn followers into leaders of their own. I believe that Mary Robinson is one of the most transformational leaders of all time. Though her rise to Presidency was unexpected, it was perhaps not surprising, given Robinson’s self narrative (Shamir, Dayan-Horesh, & Adler, 2005). From her time at Trinity working on human rights, to her being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Mary Robinson has taught us all how to be a better leader, and what we can do to make a change.

Mother Teresa to me, was a household name. Growing up as a child and being woken up on an early sunday morning to go hear the word of the lord, brought back memories of simpler times in my life. Times, when my mother or grandmother,or sunday school teacher, spoke of a woman who was generous, kind and compassionate. As a child, I never really remembered or bothered to remember the information that came along with the name. So being given the opportunity to satisfy that growing curiosity was quite nice. On top of the fact that the more that I learned about Mother Teresa the more I came to question not only myself but those that followed Teresa. Because, it was the controversy around the so called ‘miracles’ that she performed that really hit

Mother Teresa has won it all, from the hearts of even the non-Christians to the Nobel Peace Prize, and posthumously, a prestige that most of us nor wish nor dream of, one which elevated her above us all: sainthood. In Mother Teresa’s canonization, she is immortalized by Pope Francis as an icon of love and compassion, highlighting her commitment to saving lives, claiming her “a generous dispenser of divine mercy,” and her whole life “an eloquent witness to God’s closeness to the poorest of the poor” (Francis). In this essay, I hope to, knowing well that I am going against the idols of hundreds of millions, show you that everything said by the Pope is very far from the truth, and that there is perhaps no better example of undeserved glorification and false idolization than the wicked old lady, Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Mother Teresa went to the periphery many times ,in many different ways, and helped many people. Human suffering calls for human love, and Mother Teresa had much love for the suffering. Mother Teresa was born in the peripheries and had a life-long mission of helping others. Mother Teresa felt the call from God to go to the peripheries. At a young age, she decided to devote her life to God. She joined the Sisters of Loreto and became a missionary to India. This was the start of her journey to the peripheries. Later in her life, Mother Teresa formed a group called the Missionaries of Charity. With this organization, she helped take care of “ The hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.” Mother Teresa helped India’s slums, and she lived among the people she helped. Mother Teresa knew first-hand the suffering of the poor and the misery of war. She spoke 5 different languages and visited many countries. She rescued children trapped in Beirut. She traveled to communist countries and to Ethiopia to help the hungry. Even after she died in 1997, her Missionaries of Charity had 610 missions in 123 countries following her inspiring missionary work. These are all just some examples of

There are many people in this world that we consider great humanitarians. Mother Teresa was a unique individual that stood out of the crowd because of her involvement in helping the sick, poor and dying. She spent everyday of her adulthood caring for people that were in need by setting up the Missionary of Charity along with many homes for the people she cared for. Mother Teresa won many awards throughout her lifetime for her dedication to care for people in need. It is no wonder that Mother Teresa won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and is considered a saint.
