What can we learn from her life? Well, we can learn many things from Mother Teresa. For one thing she was an inspiring woman. She said she saw the face of God in everyone’s faces even those who are troubled and sick. I think we can all learn that we can see the face of God in everybody we meet and even those we dislike. She did a lot to help others and was an inspiring human being. Why did she do this? Mother Teresa did this because she knew in her heart that it was the right thing to do.She realized that if she did good then good would come unto her, and it did.Her main goal in life was to stop death and pain and she spent most of her life doing that. Though her death was devastating people still use her life work as a role model for them.She saw that God called on her to help people and she did it not because she wanted to but because it was the right thing to do. How did this help others? Her life work helped other people by giving them a chance to live,providing them with a home ,and letting them have an education of which they couldn't have before she came along and showed them what it felt like to help other people. Mother Teresa changed the world. She is a wonderful and inspiring woman.
