Answer:
She chose the name Teresa because her favorite saint was Saint Teresa of Lisieux, a patron saint of missionaries. Sister Teresa began her missionary work in Darjeeling, India where she taught wealthy children. A couple of years later, in 1931, she was sent to Calcutta to teach geography at St. Mary's High School.

Answer:
In 1946, she was suspected of having tuberculosis and was sent to Darjeeling to rest. It was there that Sister Teresa decided she was being called to "serve the poorest of the poor." Thus, she requested permission to leave the Sisters of Loreto to serve the poor of Calcutta.
