=**Profile (17.5 points)**= - __All areas must be filled out__ - Basic Information o Current City- Calcutta, India o Hometown- Skopje, Macedonia o Sex- Female o Birthday- August 26th, 1910 o Death- September 5th, 1997 o Political Views- N/A o Religious Views- Catholic o Bio (minimum 300 words): Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, Macedonia, where she grew up as an ordinary Albanian girl. Her father died when she was nine years old, leaving her and her two sisters to the care of her mother. Even when she as just a little girl of twelve years old, she felt the calling to do religious missionary work, this progressed as she got older. When she was 18 years old she left home and decided to join Irish Nuns who were doing missionary work in Calcutta, India. She took her final vows as a nun in 1937 after she received training in Ireland and India. At first she taught at a girls’ high school in Calcutta, then became a principal, but she realized that this was not sufficient to her duties. She realized that she had a greater calling to help the poor and so she had medical training to prepare herself. She founded a group called the Missionaries of Charity, which created open houses for the poor, the sick and orphans. This group received a lot of publicity and eventually was known all over the world, and these open houses were spread world wide to the countries that Mother Teresa visited. As she became better known, money was donated so she could open more houses and eventually in 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; after she had started over 200 hundred operations spread all over the world. Mother Teresa had many different types of homes opened up for the poor; ones for mental illnesses, diseases, orphans, and the dying. It seemed like there was nothing that Mother Teresa couldn’t accomplish. She was also a very agreeable person; her motto was to love and cherish all people, so she never criticized governments about the poor, she only helped. Unfortunately, Mother Teresa died in 1997 on September 5th from a heart attack and many mourned her death. o Favorite Quotations- " //By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus."-**Mother Teresa**// // Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own. -Mother Teresa Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.- **Mother Teresa** // // If you judge people, you have no time to love them.-**Mother Teresa** Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. -**Mother Teresa**//

=**Quizzes (2.5 points)**= - Go to [] - Choose 5 quizzes to take - Post which quizzes you took - Under each quiz played, explaining how the results relate to your person. Must be at least 4 sentences in length.

__Result__: Non fiction __Explanation__: Mother Teresa didn't have a lot of time to spend with leisure reading because she was so busy with organizations and charities. So, when she read she didn't read for fun, so it was not fiction, it was nonfiction. I would think that she read books on medical training for her missionary job. Also, she probably liked real stories about helping people and good deeds.
 * What kind of book/novel are you?**

__Result__: Ballet- You are beutiful inside AND out. Some people have natural grace and from the way you answered the questions you just might be one of them! Try ballet and find some extra self estemm for yourself in it. __Explanation__: Mother Teresa was very formal. She did not expose herself and was full of grace. She was a nun, so did not have anything to do with men and ballet is strictly individual. Ballet takes a lot of hard practice and discipline and so did Mother Teresa's full time job as a nun and taking care of the poor.
 * What type of dance is for you?**

__Result:__ Reality Twist You are the dream that has a certain, illusional twist on your reality. The dream could include your family, your best friend, or even just some random girl that sits next to you everyday in Algebra class. Sometimes in the dream, you can mistake it as if it is happening in real life, or that you think that you woke up when really you just woke up in your dream. Sometimes, these dreams can turn into nightmares, with bad things happening like a really bad hailstorm or a family member dying. Some can just stay dreams and have random, weird elements in it, like a panda in the garage __Explanation:__ Mother Teresa would have dreams about her daily life like helping people. She spent so much time helping poeple, and watching sick poor people die, that they are bound to reappear in her dreams. Often, what you worry about or what you are used to appears in dreams, so Mother Teresa probably dreamed about helping people and her dreams would twist around for the better or the worse. Most likely she had good dreams though, because she was an optomistic person, yet she worried about herself and her deeds being good enough for Jesus.
 * Which type of dream are you?**

__Results:__ White You are a combination of lots of peoples personalities. You don't go into situations with your mind made up with one idea, but you are willing to accept anyone who walks your way (in terms of friendship). __Explanation:__ Mother Teresa was around strangers everyday; she worked with the dying, the sick, and the poor. She had a very agreeable personality and almost everyone who met her loved her. She was willing to accept anyone because thats what her job was, to take to care of any one who was in need of help. I'm sure that she was made into the person she was because of how many loving and nice people that she was around, especially the young children.
 * What color represents you?**

__Results__: Snow Your personal weather forecast shows some snow. You are a graceful and elegant person, and also kind. You have a quiet strength, and bring joy and happiness to many. While you see the world for what it is, you tend to be optimistic. Just as snowflakes that fall stick to the ground, what you do makes a difference, and the effects of your kindness will make them impossible not to notice. Keep up the good work. You seem to be the kind of person that everyone respects, and deep down wishes they could be more like even if they won't admit it. So keep letting the snow come down. I have a feeling that it's going to be a beautiful day. __Explanation__: The result kind of explains Mother Teresa's life. She was kind, respectful of every human being and elegant without being flashy. She was the woman and person that everyone wanted to be, not any people could be as kind and as gracious as she was. Her duties as a nun were fufilled with grace and liveliness, she inspired millions and affected the whole world. She did realize that one person could make a difference; she took her chances and helped the poor, while inspiring others to do the same.
