Helen Keller


Helen Adams Keller is an American writer, political activist and lecturer. She became the winner of the Honorary University Degrees Women's Hall of Fame, The Presidential Medal of Freedom, The Lions Humanitarian Award, and even her life story won 2 Oscars. He wrote articles and famous books, including The World I Live In and The Story of My Life (typed in ordinary letters and Braille), which became classic literature in America and translated into 50 languages. He traveled to 39 countries to talk with presidents, raising funds for blind and deaf people. He founded the American Foundation for the Blind and the American Foundation for the Overseas Blind.


She was born normally in Tuscumbia, Alabama in 1880. At the age of 19 months, he was attacked by a disease that caused him to be blind and deaf. He becomes frustrated because of difficulty in communicating, often angry, and difficult to teach. At the age of 7, his parents trusted Anne Sullivan to become Hellen's personal teacher and mentor. Anne held Helen's hand under the water and in sign language, she said "A-I-R" to the other hand. When Helen holds the ground, Annie says "T-A-N-A-H" and this is done as many as 30 words per day. Helen was taught to read through Braille until she understood what she meant. Helen wrote, "I remember the most important day in my entire life was when my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me." Diligently, Annie taught Helen to speak through mouth movements, so Helen said, "The best and most beautiful things that are not seen or touched by the world are things that are felt in the heart." He studied French, German, Greek and Latin through Braille. At the age of 20, she attended Radcliffe College, a branch of Harvard University for women. Annie accompanied Hellen to read textbooks, letter by letter through Helen's hand in Braille. Only 4 years, Helen graduated with the title magna cum laude. She is the deaf and blind person who first graduated from university
