Helen Keller<\/h4>\n

I was born in Alabama. It was 1880.<\/p>\n

I got sick as a baby. I could not see. I could not hear.<\/p>\n

Imagine you could not see or hear. What would that feel like?<\/p>\n

I struggled to communicate. I was angry.<\/p>\n

I did not behave well. My family was upset.<\/p>\n

I needed help. I visited doctors. They worked with the deaf and the blind.<\/p>\n

They said I should work with a teacher. They suggested Anne Sullivan.<\/p>\n

Anne came to live with my family. I was 6 years old.<\/p>\n

Anne worked hard to teach me. It was not easy at first. But Anne found a way.<\/p>\n

What would it be like to have your teacher live with you?<\/p>\n

She helped me feel an object. Then she spelled the word in my hand.<\/p>\n

The first word I learned was \u201cwater\u201d It was a miracle!<\/p>\n

I quickly made progress.<\/p>\n

I learned to read Braille.<\/p>\n

I learned to write.<\/p>\n

I even learned to speak.<\/p>\n

With Anne\u2019s help, I went to school. I graduated from college.<\/p>\n

I wrote books. I traveled. I gave speeches.<\/p>\n

I was a leader for deaf and blind people.<\/p>\n

I started groups to help them.<\/p>\n

I shared my story.<\/p>\n

I won many awards. I was honored until my death at age 88<\/p>\n

I was a gifted woman. I was smart and courageous. I was a hero to my community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
