Answer 2

Helen wrote her first book called, “The Story of My Life," which she while in college.

Helen was important to other people with disabilities because she inspired people. She showed that Deaf and blind people deserved respect.  She helped support various Deaf-Blind programs. Helen inspired people with disabilities because she was persistent. One way she showed persistence was when she applied to college. Another way was when she learned letters, words, and sentences. Anne kept showing her more letters, words, and sentences and Helen kept wanting to learn more and more.

Helen showed that it doesn’t matter if person has a disability. She showed that if a person works hard and has persistence, that person can make it. She founded an organisation in 1915, "Helen Keller International;" which was dedicated to preventing blindness and teaching people how to live well. The organisation printed books and music in braille and these books helped blind people so they could understand and learn new things.

Helen Keller inspired everyone. Some people thought she wouldn't be able to do anything like normal people do. Despite her disabilities, she was exactly like normal person but only just deaf-blind.
