Helen Keller
Good morning everyone present; I feel extremely privileged to have got an opportunity to speak about Helen Keller, one of the most inspiring women of the world.
She was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia in Alabama. At the age of nineteen months she fell ill with brain fever which disabled her hearing and seeing faculties. Since she was a very bright child, she had so much to express, however finding herself disabled frustrated her. She became very restless and anguished at times.
Helen Keller had to face adversities on every step she put forward. She fought her darkness, hearing and speech disabilities and emerged as a better personality. Helen was a prodigy child, who had to fight the innumerable challenges since her early childhood! The challenges she faced were quite arduous---as if Nature had planned a special obstacle course for her to help her bring her best out!
After being rendered blind and disabled in hearing and speaking, Helen's frustration to learn more and more about life mounted very high. Her hearing disability combined with visual disability made the teaching and learning more challenging. Helen was a very industrious girl; she always did her best to learn. She had such a natural, innate passion for learning which always motivated her. Manual alphabet, reading, arithmetic, etc., all were formidable challenges for her initially, but Helen overcame them. The most arduous of all of them was learning to speak.
Learning to speak is almost an impossible task for those who have hearing disability. So Helen had to work very hard. She had to repeat each word and sentence many times for the right tone and pronunciation. She practiced untiringly. At times she became discouraged and weary too, but she never gave up. She faced all the difficulties courageously. Her entire life appeared to be full of obstacles which she overcame with commendable patience and grit. She was a great fighter against the personal weaknesses from whom we can learn many lessons of courage, perseverance and inner strength.
As a result of her strength of character and determination to succeed, she became enormously successful in life. the world still remembers her noble deeds and draws inspiration from her life.
