Inspiration is something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create. Inspiration comes to all of us in many different ways. There are people that get their inspiration from movies or music or maybe famous figures. My inspiration comes from someone that maybe all of us know who is. She is Helen Keller. I get inspiration from her because she can pass her life with her deformity.
I will tell about her life. Helen Keller was an activist and lecturer in America. She could speak in five languages and she had written fourteen classical works. She got troubles in her ability of seeing and hearing. I get inspiration from her because of her effort to survive in this world. She was born in Tuscumbia, June 27 1880. Her father is Arthur H Keller and her mother is Kate Adams Keller. Frankly, she was born normally. But in February 1882, she got an accident that causes she lost her ability of seeing and hearing. She got frustrated because of that. It’s difficult for her for communicating to others. Nobody could understand what she said, included her mother. She was mad and often rampaged. Finally, in 1887 her parents trusted Anne Sullivan to treat Keller. They trusted her because Anne Sullivan had same experience with her.
Anne started to correct Keller’s bad attitude. When Keller rampaged, Anne was quitting her until she was calm. After Keller was calm, Anne taught her again. Initially, Anne gave Keller a doll and spelled it to Keller’s hand in Braille. Keller didn’t understand fully. By Anne brought Keller to the water pump. She held a Keller’s hand under water and write W-A-T-E-R in Braille on the Keller’s hand. Everything had changed. Keller understood fully. Her learning ability was developing rapidly. Nobody could predict it for someone who lost her ability of seeing and hearing.
In 1898, she entered the Cambridge School for Young Ladies to prepare for Radcliffe College. She entered Radcliffe in the fall of 1900 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in 1904, the first deaf-blind person to do so. Keller began writing while she was in Radcliffe College. In 1903, her autobiography “The Story of My Life” was published. Her autobiography was translated into fifty languages. Keller married to her best friend, John Macy. Since that time Anne’s name had changed become Anne Sullivan Macy. They lived in Wrentham, Massachusetts. At that time Keller wrote “The World I Live In”. In 1921, Keller joined AFB (American Foundation for The Blind). She worked there over forty years. Keller became activist, lecturer for children who have deformity like her and writer in her life. She had written twelve books and some articles. Her first book is “The King Frost”. She wrote it when she was eleven years old (1891). Keller’s other published works include “Optimism,” an essay; “The World I Live In”; “The Song of the Stone Wall”; Out of the Dark; My Religion; Midstream—My Later Life; Peace at Eventide; Helen Keller in Scotland; Helen Keller's Journal; Let Us Have Faith; Teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy; and The Open Door.
Keller suffered a stroke in October 1961. It caused she pulled out of public. At the end of her life, she was treated in her home in Arcan Ridge. She passed away on June 1 1968, when she was 87 years old. She was buried in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
We can see from Keller’s life. Deformity isn’t obstacle for us to get our success. Many people in this world feel ungrateful because of their disadvantages. It’s wrong. There is sky on the sky. We have to feel grateful to God, he gives us a challenge for us to live.
