Answer:
Helen Keller first had to overcome her obstacles of learning and obtaining an education herself. Helen developed a passion for helping others because her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, first helped her. Ms. Sullivan taught Helen to communicate using the manual alphabet. She spelled individual letters into Helen's palm to create each word. Helen received assistance when she was in college using this method. In addition, Helen learned to speak with special instruction and to write using a special typewriter. She was able to do more and reach more people through her writing.
