family. Her mother taught her to pray, to love and to help other people. Her parents always gave 
money and food to poor people. It was the lesson of kindness. W hen Agnes was only six, her father 
died and they became poor. But later her mother managed to open the shop and she did her business 
well. Agnes understood: ‘ W h en life becomes difficult you must try, try and try again and never give 
up.” It was the second lesson. In 1928 she left her family. She became a nun and chose a new name 
for herself - Teresa. Then she continued to help poor people. In 1979 Mother Teresa got the greatest 
award in the world - the Nobel Peace Prize. She received the prize because she loved and helped 
people all her life. She believed that “ all people were equal”. She worked in hospitals, schools, different 
countries and continents. After her death the Missionaries of Charity continued helping the people.
