Emotional Intelligence by Belen Chediak

Last week we talked about geniuses, most of them have improved the way we live, and the way we think. science is a very important aspect in our time, but we shouldn't forget about feelings and emotions. 
I think is essencial to remember those who had sacrifice their lives to make the world a better place, the one who had worked for the poor and the unfortunate.
I've chosen a great woman, Mother Teresa of Calcutta. In my opinion, she is one of the most charitable people in the humanity history. Mother Teresa's real name was Agnes Goxha. She was born in Albania, her birthday it's disputed, but they said she was born on 26th August, 1910. 


At a very short age she felt she was called to the Catholic Church, so she moved to India and went to a convent, there she was named Mother Teresa. When she was 18, she decided to left the convent and helping the others in Calcutta. She said Jesus told her to join him and looking after the poor ones. She founded The Missioners of Charity in Calcutta, a Roman Catholic congregation. By the time, the congregation is consistred with more than 4,500 sisters. 
She is an admired nun because of everything she had done to help the poor people in India. Eventhough the first years she didn't have a lot of money, she was very concerned about these people. She brought hope and faith to Calcutta that's why she will never be forgotten. For over 45 years, she ministeres the poor, misguided, dying and sick. After her death, Pope John Paul II  gave her the title "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta". Meanwhile, she is on her way of holiness.
In conclusion, Mother Teresa was a great emotional woman, that gave her life to help the others, and had left a legacy of fraternity that I hope it will go on during this years.
