My Real World Example of Humility

My real world example of humility is Mother Teresa and how she showed love and compassion towards people who needed help and support. She left her comfort zone of being in a convent and teaching students, to help sick children in India. She thought of others needs before her own, showing kindness to everyone she met. People should act by putting others before themselves, like her. And to take the moment to think of someone else other than themselves.

I was drawn to Mother Teresa because of the kindness she showed to others. In the images of her over the internet, there are pictures of her doing something kind for someone, ethier if it's hugging them, helping them, or feeding them. It seems like she is preoccupied doing good for others. In my generation however, we seem to be preoccupied with technology that takes up most of our lives, not giving even a glance to someone in need. We have been thinking too much of ourselves and our achivements in society to take the time to think of others, and we need to limit the distractions we have in our life that are keeping us from seeing the world and people around us.

Here are some links that I found to help with my real world connection.
