Mother Teresa was important because she would dedicate her life to helping and improving others lives.

Modern people, and most people who call themselves Christians, think that going to Church on Sunday, saying some things, and being nice to people is what it is all about. They are completely missing the mark. Those kind of things are just the tip of the iceberg. Mother Teresa helped others by loving God above all things, putting Him first in her life, and doing His Will no matter how painful it was for her, and it was very painful.

.

Mother spent most of her life in a dark night with no real feeling or personal knowledge of God. This is very common with the founders of religious orders, they are strong enough in their faith to make their way through life totally depend on Faith, Hope, and Charity: the three cardinal virtues bestowed on us in Baptism. She sacrificed herself completely for God, and was called a saint and a prophet for it.

.

Mother Theresa helped others the way we are all called to help others, by getting up in the morning, and taking some to give to God first. She spend an hour in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, went to Holy Mass, received Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist, and went to confession frequently, and regularly. And, then, when she had done these things, she went out and lived her faith by seeing her God in every individual in front of her, especially the poor, the sick, the aged, and the abandoned. She served God by serving Him in them - which is nothing more nor less than she lived the Gospel with every breath in her body.

.

Mother Teresa showed compassion for those who were less fortunate than she was. She gave them food, lifted their spirits, and helped them survive. She is and was considered a hero to many people. After her death, she was put on the short list for canonization, and in 2012 I believe she has already had one miracle attributed to her, and has been beatified. Of course, she loved children.

The Church often says that the only real way to help people, the way to become a good spouse, parent, teacher, or whatever, is to become a saint. Mother Teresa believed and lived this. She helped the poor by becoming a saint.

To honor and serve God and to always treat the poor.

It was important because she felt as if she was helping people, and she was. And also it was an important job because no-one else would have done it. And the best thing about it all was that she wanted to do it as well. It wasn't like it was a chore.

She helped persons who suffered from leprosy. Leprosy is a kind of a communicative disease in which if one touches the person who is affected from leprosy he will also get the disease. So she was the one who helped the poor

It's an Albanian name, because she was born into an Albanian family. There are 36 letters in the Albanian alphabet.

Mother Teresa, in brief, is remembered for helping those who were less fortunate than her. She is known to be a saint and is highly respected by the Pope and others. Mother Teresa lived her life to serve God's message and to live for those in need.

And for dedicating a proportion of her life with people with a life which people would think is not worth living.
She dedicated her life to helping poor, sick and helpless people of the world. Up until 1970 she was largely unknown, but was then selected to be the subject of a book by the journalist Malcolm Muggeridge called "Something Beautiful for God" which was made into a documentary film that was seen worldwide; and led to her receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

She didn't attend college. She would have become a nun by the time she was going to college and also people of the time did not have enough money to go to college.

Another answer from our community:

She made little buildings or houses with nurses that volunteered, and searched for homeless and sick people on the streets. After, they found these people, Mother Teresa took them into her little hospital building and took care of them until they died.
