Education and Motivation
Mother Teresa was home-schooled because she was born in the Ottoman Empire where girls were not permitted to attend school, this education was little more than basic English and Mathematics. She attended her church’s youth group
where she learned science, medicine and arts from the church priest, Father Franjo Jambrekovic, who was the head of the youth group. Also here she learned about the missionaries in India. When she wanted to become a nun at the age of
18 she went for training at the Sisters of Loreto in Dublin, Ireland.
“Mother Teresa motivation was God. God was the motivating force that influenced Mother Teresa in helping the poorest of the poor, the abomination of abortion and the preaching of the notion of God’s love was in each and
every one of us.”
