Helen Keller is one of the most amazing people in the world. She was originally from Alabama in the US and she fell ill with a terrible disease that made her unable to see or hear. When Helen first became ill, she often screamed and behaved very badly. When she was 7 years old, Helen's family found a tutor for her, Ann Sullivan, who also had very poor eyesight. She was very strict with Helen and began to teach her to put words together with her hands, but Helen did not quite understand what they meant. So one morning she held Helen's hand under the water and wrote "W-A-T-E-R"on the other palm. That day, Helen learned 30 words! Then Helen learned to read Braille and type both in Braille and on a regular typewriter, and to understand what her teacher was saying, feeling her mouth when she spoke. At University, she began writing her first book, the Story of my life. She graduated from the University in 1904, becoming the first deaf-blind person to receive a degree. Helen has written many books and essays, lectured around the world, and worked hard to raise money and improve the living conditions of the blind.
