Helen Keller The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher Anne Mansfield Sullivan came to me.
I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable( ) contrasts between the two lives which it connects.It was the third of March 1887 three months before I was seven years old. so wrote Helen Keller. The morning after the arrival of her teacher Helen was led into a room and given a doll.After she had played with it for a while Miss Sullivan slowly spelt the letters doll into her hand.At once Helen was interested in this finger play and tried to imitate her teacher. When she finally succeeded in forming the letters correctly
she was filled with pleasure and pride.Excitedly she found her way to her mother held up her hand and wrote the letters for doll And in the days that followed she learned to spell a great many words in this way. Helen soon learned however that things and actions had names.One day when she was playing with her new doll Miss Sullivan placed the doll on her lap made her touch it again and wrote the letters doll on the palm( )of her hand.This was repeated several times until Helen associated the word with the object.
Onceas we were walking down the road to the well I was attracted by some strange smell in the air.I asked What is that strange smell in the air Miss Sullivan led me to the well.Someone was drawing water.She took my hand and placed it under the flowing water. As the cool water washed Helen's hand Miss Sullivan spelt the word water into her other hand first slowly then quickly.Helen stood still.She knew then that water meant the cool liquid she was now playing with both her hands. That living word gave her joy light and hope.She did not remember what they all were but she knew that mother
fathersisterand her teacher were among them words that were to make the world bright for her.As her education progressed Helen was living a new life full of excitement.She now had the key to language and was keen to use it. We who have eyes to see and ears to hear can learn easily.But Helen could not as she was both blind and deaf.She did not allow herself to be handicapped( ) She made full use of all the other faculties she had to such an advantage that she became a worldfamous teacher of the blind and the deaf.
