Helen Keller

by TJ


Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880. When she was a baby, she had a fever that caused her to be blind and deaf.

Anne Sullivan was the teacher who taught her how to communicate using her hands. Before Anne Sullivan came to Helen Keller, she was an inconsolable, perverse, willful and selfish child. When Anne Sullivan came, she taught her everything has a name. She made her hold a bear and told her what it is. Helen also came to love Anne Sullivan. Helen developed the sense of love for her family and the sense of being an eager student, affectionate, caring and generous.

Her achievements were many for a blind and deaf woman. At the age of 16, she went to Radcliff College. She became a writer and lecturer for the disabled and this resulted in the creation of many more special services for the blind and deaf people.


She is a very determined person to get what she wants even though it may seem impossible.
