Helen Keller Accomplishments

Have you ever considered being blind, and deaf for your whole life? Sounds pretty inconceivable right? As for Helen Keller this was just an everyday battle that she had to face. During a very unexpected time when Helen was little, Helen and her family had to undergo some serious changes. Helen and her family adjusted to these new and undesirable changes in several different ways. Such as Helen having a private tutor, or Helen learning how to read and write. Helen Keller was an inspiration to the world inspiring many people around her by all of the great achievements despite all of her disabilities. Helen Adams Keller was a strong, powerful, individual that accomplished many great achievements during her hard,

When Helen Keller was little, her and her family experienced devastating news. They were told that Helen would no longer be able to see or hear. Helen caused a big stress on her family because she could not communicate with any of them. Eventually, she learned how to do some manual signs to communicate but it still put a strain on their family. As a result of Helen becoming blind and deaf, Helen soon became the main priority in the Keller household. Helen was spoiled and was taking time away from the rest of the family.

After Helen learned how to read and write, Helen started writing poems and letters in her diary. Soon enough, Alexander Graham Bell and Anagnos published these entries causing Helen to go viral (Helen Adams Keller 1). After her entries became published, Helen attended the Wright-Humason so she can improve her lipreading techniques. After attending Wright-Humason, Helen attended Cambridge School so she can be prepared for attending Radcliffe College (Helen Adams Keller 2). After college, Helen received her B.A. Cum Laude and began to communicate more advanced using raised letters and braille (Helen Adams Keller 2).
