(Mother Teresa)
From here on, Mother Teresa, turned her visions and religious callings into reality “She began an open-air school and established a home for the dying destitute in a dilapidated building she convinced the city government to donate to her cause”. (Mother Teresa) Meanwhile, in October 1950, she won canonical recognition for a new congregation, the Missionaries of Charity, which she founded with only a few members—most of them former teachers or students from St. Mary's School where she previously taught. (Mother Teresa) Incidentally, as the levels of her parish grew and monetary contributions flowed in from all over the world, the extent of Mother Teresa’s charitable enterprises quickly snowballed. “Over the course of the 1950s and 1960s, she established a leper colony, an

Katharine once said, “Christ wishes the Christian Community to be a body that is perfect because we work together towards a single end, and the higher the motive which actuates this collaboration the higher, no doubt, will be the union. Now the end in question is supremely exalted: the continuous sanctification of the Body for the glory of God and the Lamb that was slain.” (A-Z Quotes). This quote describes Katharine’s way of working towards creating her orphanages and schools with her order. Despite overcoming many difficulties in her earlier life, Saint Katharine Drexel created her own religious order, donated generously to charities, and established schools to teach the faith the others; consequently, she is one of the most dynamic missionary saints from America.

From this statement, a conclusion about Maria Theresa can be drawn in regards to her personality. She seemed to be concerned for her children and their success, but she seemed more so concerned with how people would have viewed her if her children had done anything to embarrass her. Maria Theresa was considered by many to be a loving mother, always surrounded by her family. However, according to The World of Habsburgs, Marie Antoinette accused her of putting on a show so public opinion about her would be good. The website quotes Marie Antoinette saying, “‘As soon as news arrived of the arrival of a foreigner of importance in Vienna, the Empress surrounded herself with her family, brought him to the table and by means of this calculated demonstration of closeness evoked the belief that she herself supervised her children’s upbringing.’” Maria Theresa actually had rough relationships with quite a few of her children, many of which felt that she chose favorites and expected too much of the ones who were not. One major example of this favoritism is, her relationship with her daughter, Maria Christina. Maria Theresa actually allowed Maria Christina to marry for love, while she forced, arguably her least favorite daughter, Maria Amalia, into a marriage against her will for the purpose of political gain. This was all despite the fact that Maria Theresa herself had been allowed to marry for love, even when her father knew she would likely inherit the throne. This ruined the

She got permission from the church to found the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, and kept working to better the world through this organization. It was created to have Catholic women dedicate themselves and their lives to the less fortunate in the world, and work to make their lives better through their actions and hard work. Mother Teresa organized this whole group, which still works today with massive numbers behind it, so her impact on society is still not over; she is still touching peoples’ lives because of her love of God and her desire to make a difference in all the lives that she ever came in contact

A beautiful brunette was brought into the world on June 37, 1880, named Helen Keller, not knowing that she will be blind in a few months, give or take. Nor did Keller know she was going to get a disease well known as “scarlet fever”.
If most people heard the name Helen Keller, they would think of that poor girl who was deaf and blind. They would think of her and remember the stories they heard about how she was taught how to communicate by a teacher named Anne Sullivan. That is probably all they would think about her. How she was world famous because of how she learned to read through Braille, letters pressed into her hand, and how she eventually learned to speak, however, this is not all there is to Helen Keller.

Cooking is great, I find it therapeutic. Many of the receipts I cook are usually featured on the food network. I follow the recipes on the website and I watch the chef prepare it .I’m a visual learners so it helps watching someone go step by step. I also go to YouTube to learn new recipes. I was always passed down a cook book from my grandmother which I look at as well.
In the beginning phases of our video project, we struggled to find a theme specific enough to embody all of the ideas we had as a group. We were very set on a certain direction, but that direction included a lot of different subsections that would make our task even more complicated. Accessibility on college campuses and beyond is a very important topic and one that aligned with our passion. But the likelihood for us to travel to another campus to conduct interviews & collect data was very low. This centered our focus on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In our own community there are many improvements necessary. The University of Illinois is home to some of the finest athletes with disabilities, but
It all began in Skopje, Macedonia in the year of 1910 when young Agnes was born. Agnes, now known as Mother Teresa, was the daughter of Drana and Nikola Bojaxhiu, two very religious people, who was raised to be a loving catholic to the poor. When Agnes’ father died, her mother became a dressmaker to sustain her family. She often took Agnes “on visits to the sick, the elderly, and the lonely,” (Felder 115) which really contributed to the person Agnes became. Her mother’s belief that “When you do good, do it unobtrusively, as if you were tossing a pebble into the sea,” (Felder 115) also contributed plenty to the person Agnes later became to be. Around her teenage years, she joined the Loreto order, a group of nuns who taught in Calcutta.
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.
