Leadership 

On that day Our madam explain about leadership qualities. There are many good leaders with leadership qualities. among them the most inspired leader of me is Mother Teresa. When I read the word servant leadership, Mother Teresa immediately popped up into my head. It’s hard to imagine a celebrity who left home at 18 to pursue a religious life, gave up all her worldly possessions except for the simplest necessities of life:  three identical outfits, a pair of sandals, and a tin washing pail to live and work among the poorest of the poor in a remote and unknown country.



Mother Teresa was born on 26th august 1910 in Skopje which was the part of Albania at that time. Her real name was Agens Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Now Skojpe is the capital of Macedonia but at that time it was the part of Turkey’s Ottaman empire. At that time the Turks were ruling over Albania. During this time, Bojaxhiu married Dranafile. She gave birth to three children a daughter,Aga, a son Lazar, and finally on 26th august Gonxha was born. From the beginning her mother, drana was a traditional wife who works in the day and whenever she gets time she used to visit ashrams,poor people helping them in their work. Her father fell seriously ill at the age of 45 and even the emergency surgery can’t save him. Due to this the whole condition of the Bojaxhui’s house was drastically changed. Drana’s condition was also becoming poor day by day , so she engaged herself in instructing the poor children and teaching them various profound lessons.

As the chidren become older, mother Teresa became involved in the church with her elder sister ,Aga. At the age of just 12 she showed her intention of becoming a nun. But due to her health problems she continued her schooling. She was already involved in the church activities. As a young girl, she decided to help the poor in Africa. By the late 20s she grew into a disciplined,well organized student. Finally at the age of 18 she told her mother that she wants to become a nun and her mother gave her blessings.
