In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died.She survived but the fever left its mark ― she could no longer see or hear.Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.So how did this child,blinded and deafened at 19 months old,grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?
The fever cut her off from the outside world,depriving her of sight and sound.It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily.Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses.
Just before her seventh birthday,the family hired a private tutor ― Anne Sullivan.Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested.
Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar,graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904.She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory,as well as a dogged determination to succeed.While she was still at college she wrote 'The Story of My Life'.This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.
She toured the country,giving lecture after lecture.Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life.Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs.In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.
