In the summer of 1986, 21-year-old Susan Conroy left her family and friends and headed off to Calcutta, India - alone - to assist the Missionaries of Charity.
Her goals for this journey were ambitious:
"Work alongside Mother Teresa, actively trying to learn her ways of selfless love, devotion, and service"
"Grow stronger in my faith:"
"Grow in appreciation for what I have been given"
"Grow in concern for human life"
"Carry through life all that I will learn, and share this with other"
