Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in
Tuscumbia, a little town of Northern Alabama.
Her father, Arthur H. Keller, was a captain in the
confederate Army and Helen’s mother was his
second wife. Helen’s early life was simple and,
being the first baby in the family, she was loved by
all. She was, by birth, self-asserting and could speak
when she was just six months old. In the month of
February, she became extremely sick, a sickness that
was called acute congestion of the stomach and the
brain. The fever left suddenly but she lost her sense
of hearing and seeing. Her days were becoming
darker and darker and she was very upset. Initially,
she was angry and frustrated but later she got used
to the silence and darkness that surrounded her. She
realised that she was different from others. At times,
she would get frustrated because she would not be
able to understand other people’s language. She
was happy playing with her companions—Martha
and Belle. Both her parents loved her a lot and were
caring towards her. Her problem of communication
was overcome by the arrival of her teacher, Anne
Sullivan. She came as a ray of hope in Helen’s life.
Her embittered childhood changed into a happier
childhood. Anne Sullivan taught her amongst the
nature; which further helped to improve her sense
of touch and understanding the emotions of others.
She was in love with books and had also learnt many
languages. When she was in college, she was able to
give her examinations and became a graduate.
Gradually, with the help of Anne Sullivan, Mr.
Anagnos and Dr. Graham Bell, she was able to write
stories on her own. She realised that misfortunes can
be overcome by working hard. She was determined
and was able to overcome all the barriers and could
write the books on her own.
