Helen Keller
Helen Keller wasn't blind and deaf when she was first born. When she was 18 months old she got a disease of stomach and brain. It left a little while longer but left her blind and deaf.
She was born on June 27, 1880. She had a hard time being blind and deaf. She hung on to her moms skirt to get around. She touched people's hands to find out what that person was doing. She learned how to milk a cow and how to knead bread dough. She made up signs to talk to her family. She had a lot of temper tantrums in her child life.
She accomplished lots when she was blind and deaf. She learned how to talk to other people. She went to collage. She gave a lot of speeches in her life. She had better memory skills then anyone else. She also wrote the book "The Story of My Life".
She had a few qualities. She learned how to read braille. Her teacher was Anne Sullivan. Anne Sullivan taught her the alphabet and how to spell words.
Helen Keller was great.
