GP-an influential person

Today I am going to talk about a influential person in the field of humanitarian.

Mother Teresa was a compassionate lady whose great contribution in humanitarian work won her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She also founded the Missionaries of Charity and attended to the needs of the poor,sick,orphaned and dying of Calcutta,India. Over time she gained international prominence as a humanitarian and advocate for the poor and helpless.

I consider Mother Teresa to be influential as she inspired a lot of other people to affiliate themselves with her order. Her efforts in the humanitarian work made them admire her and made them feel that it is important to care for the poor and disabled rather than always focusing on the rich and wealthy to see what they can contribute to the society. Catholics who were inspired by Mother Teresa set up quite a number of charity organisations and recruited volunteers to help out at these places.

Mother Teresa gave hopes to the poor and disabled not only in Calcutta,but to the rest of the world as well. She spent her entire life doing humanitarian work,without any complaints or regrets. Her contribution is just limitless. Untill now,her missionaries of charity are still helping people who are helpless,with over a million volunteers. This shows that even people today get influence by Mother Teresa's effort in the humanitarian field and want to play a part in helping the less fortunate too. Mother Teresa is also voted by people around the world as the 1 of the 100 most influential people in the world.
My name is Jonathan Leo Qi Xiang. People always say that my surname is so special,which I think so too. Not many people have this surname,or should I say I have never met one yet. I am now in 08/07 in ajc,took up subject combination of H2 mathematics,chemistry,physics and H1 history. I did not go to any JC during first 3 months as I wanted to use that long holiday to get some work experience.

I love to play basketball,I will feel very uncomfortable if I do not touch a basketball at least once a week. For now,I am playing only once a week during saturday. People may think that since I like basketball so much,I should be in the basketball cca. Well,but I am now actually in hockey. I did not join basketball because I felt that aj basketball standard is too high and I do not think I can make it to the school team. Other hobbies of mine includes playing card games and watching movies.

Last of all,I just want to say that I created this blog because of gp. No choice. I personally do not like to blog. Well,no particular reasons. However I really hope that by blogging,I can really improve on my english language.
