...Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, Yugoslavia. In 1928, she decided to become a nun and traveled to Dublin, Ireland, where she joined the Sisters of Loreto and took on the name Sister Mary Teresa after St. Thesese of Lisieux (Short Biography). After studying at the convent for less than a year, she left to join the Loreto convent in the city of Darjeeling in northeast India. On May 24, 1937, she took the name of "Mother Teresa" while teaching at St. Mary’s School for girls where she became the principal. In 1948, she founded a religious order of nuns in Calcutta, India, called the Missionaries of Charity. Through this association, she dedicated her life to helping the poor, the sick, and the dying around the world, particularly those in India. Mother Teresa died on September 5th, 1997, of a heart attack at eighty-seven years old. Being raised Catholic and spending time as a volunteer with the church and as a Eucharist minister is one of the reasons I chose Mother Teresa. We all have a tendency to get wrapped up in our own little world, with our own individual problems and to me she exemplifies a woman who was able to break free from that. She placed her faith in Jesus to do the work of God. My favorite quotes of hers are “People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.” and ”Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.” I feel these are two very important things to remember especially embarking on the career...

...Introduction Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the signal over part or the entire communication path. The first wireless transmitters went on the air in the early 20th century using radiotelegraphy (Morse code). Later, as modulation made it possible to transmit voices and music via wireless, the medium came to be called "radio." With the advent of television, fax, data communication, and the effective use of a larger portion of the spectrum, the term "wireless" has been resurrected. Common examples of wireless equipment in use today include: Cellular phones and pagers Global Positioning System (GPS) Cordless computer peripherals Cordless telephone sets Home-entertainment-system control boxes -- the VCR control and the TV channel control are the most common examples Remote garage-door openers Two-way radios In this paper we will look at the following technologies used to provide wireless communication: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Global System for Mobil Communications (GSM). Satellites 802.11X Wireless LAN Bluetooth Wireless Technology Microwave CDMA/GSM In cellular service there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).

...Gandhi was the architect of civil disobedience that influenced the world? A struggling, shy, student who had tremendous difficulty speaking in public. Gandhi was unsuccessful as a lawyer in Bombay. He found his calling working for the downtrodden Indian minority in South Africa. Why him? Why is it Mother Teresa, a convent school teacher dedicated to her student’s education became a Noble Prize humanitarian? Her clinics now care for tens of thousands. Why her? Why is it that Jesus, (whether one believes he is just a man or truly the Son of God), became the most influential person who ever lived? Born in a barn to poor parents; Jesus relied on friends and strangers for food and shelter. He changed the culture of the world. Why him? There is something else at play here, Servant leadership. Servant leaders show proof of their character through behavior. They display the common practices of model leadership by modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act and encouraging the heart (Kouzes & Posner, 2007). Leadership is about service, stewardship, and shepherding those; at home, work, and in the community. Washington, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Jesus’ effectiveness as leaders reflects courage, vision, values, and commitment to change. They have the heart, head, hands and habits of a servant leader.

...GS210 Ashley Paster Helping Others 3/26/15 Mother Teresa said it best, “Give, but give until it hurts.” Meaning we were blessed with the ability to give and we give until there is nothing left. Go out of your way to help the people around you and make a difference in their life. I decided to choose this topic because every now and then I see that sometimes we are either giving too much or not enough. In general, this topic is very important to me; one of my life goals is to give whatever I can to anyone in need. I always make myself available to friends, family, and/or even strangers. There is a satisfying feeling when you know you are making a difference in someone’s life. Helping others can change your whole outlook on life for ever. Helping the people you love is such an honor. There is no one better to help you out than someone you care about deeply (2011, April 3). I believe that we are supposed to do whatever we need to for our family. For example, my sister, shelby, was recently in a car accident and I did everything I could for her. The accident was not her fault, but she was the one left with a totaled car and two hand injuries. I had to help her get dressed, take showers, cutting up her food, etc. She was so devastated that she could not do anything herself, so I gladly gave her all of my time and more. As a family, we should always stick together and help each other until for some reason we cannot anymore. There is such abundance love when helping out the...

...Mother Teresa’s Simple Path Roshan M Royce HS 122 NX Saint Peter’s College Mother Teresa’s Simple Path Planet earth in the twenty first century is a very complex habitat. Planet earth is not just complex because of the wide range of nature and animal life thriving but rather because of one special inhabitant, human beings. In many ways, humans are the best and worst thing that ever happened to our world. Our ego had driven this beautiful planet to the verge of near destruction with wars, violence and protests, terrorism and other forms of bloodshed. Today, if there is a conflict in terms between nations or even among people of the same nation on a particular matter, hate and disgust flow like a river and people alienate nations and groups of people on the basis of silly blind reasons such as skin color, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, race, religion, language, wealth and standing in society. History has provided the inhabitants of the earth with many opportunities to learn from their mistakes, mistakes that range from an individual level to nations or union of nations. Yet the sorrow remains that the nations have failed to learn and change either due to selective ignorance or from arrogance. But history never quits. History is always searching for the wise to provide knowledge and understanding like a parent, like a teacher or guru with tears in the eyes. We shall look at one of the best lesson that history has provided us in the person of Mother Teresa. Mother...
