I think the greatest person that has ever lived is Mother Teresa. She changed many people's lives. Here is the information that I found out about her.
Mother Teresa was born on 27th August 1910 in Macedonia. She was the youngest of three children in a family. When she was young, Mother Teresa studied religion and loved everyone. She became a nun in Ireland and left for India in 1929 and taught in St Mary's High School from 1931. In 1948, Mother Teresa became an Indian citizen and she started to help the poor in Calcutta. Mother Teresa died on 5th September 1997 when she was 87. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and the President of the US awarded her the Medal of Freedom in 1985. She will always be remembered for devoting her life to caring for the poor.
She was a kind person who gave up everything for others. That is why I admire her so much.
