A Woman who was Deaf and Blind

Helen Keller was blind and deaf. She had scarlet fever at 19 months. She was born and raised in Tuscumbia Alabama. She was born in June 27th 1880. Helen Keller was wild when she was young. When Helen Keller was 6 years old Annie Sullivan was stating teaching her of how she could be able to do things in her life. Helen Keller had temper tantrums when she did not get her way. When Helen Keller's mother Kate she had realized her fear became true. When Helen Keller's mother was bathing her she wanted to find out what was wrong to her. So she pointed to her eye then her eyes were blind. She never blinked stared straight. When Annie Sullivan was helping Helen Keller she was trying do sign language, and how to spell with communication. Helen Keller realized something startled her. Water had gushed out then Annie Sullivan was teaching Helen to spell w-a-t-e-r in her palm in her hands to communicate. As Helen was getting older with Annie she helped her to go to a deaf and blind school in Perkins in Massachusetts. As she grew older more she helped American Foundation for the blind for her rest for her life. For short AFB. This was Helen Keller's life. She helped people who were just like her with disabilities. She cared, and helped them. Then for awhile before she helped the AFB she attended to Radcliffe Collage. Helen Keller called Annie Sullivan Teacher.So Annie had to spell it out on her hand. T-e-a-c-h-e-r. Helen Keller communicated with her teacher and other people by using her hand to see how lips were moving. She read lip reading. This is how she did it. 

There is a movie about it. It's the Miracle Worker.

  This is Helen Keller when she was older.
 This was when Helen Keller was with her teacher Annie Sullivan. 

I like the quote from Helen Keller: Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing
