READING
Helen Keller
Life is difficult when you are blind. But what about
when you cannot see and you also cannot hear?
For Helen Keller, this was reality. Helen Keller was
born in the U.S. in 1880. As a baby, she was able to
see and hear normally, but when she was about
two years old, she got very sick. After the illness,
Helen was playing when her mother noticed that
her child couldn’t see or hear.
Helen found it quite difficult to deal with everyday
life, but her mother was determined to help her
become independent. She found a teacher for
Helen, Anne Sullivan, who was working with deaf
children in Boston. Anne started to teach Helen to
communicate by using her fingers to spell words.
While she was learning, Helen often got very angry
and frustrated, but Anne was very patient and
helpful, and by the time Helen was ten years old,
she started classes at a school for deaf children.
Helen was ambitious and she worked hard. A
rich man, Henry Rogers, agreed to pay for her to go
to college. Every day, Anne used to go with Helen
and sit next to her to help her understand the
lectures. In 1904, when she was 24, Helen
graduated from college. She was the first deaf-blind
person to get a degree.
During her life, Helen became famous and worked
for people with disabilities. She traveled to 35
countries and wrote 12 books. Her life is inspiring,
not only for blind and deaf people, but for
everyone.
