Why did Helen feel herself a 'chosen soul'?
Answers
Helen Keller inspite of being blind and deaf, graduated with honors from Radcliffe College. She was the first blind and deaf person to earn a college degree. Her teacher Anne Sullivan helped her to emerge from her world of darkness and silence to become one of the greatest women of her time. She published a dozen books and visited 40 countries and gained international fame. She campaigned for peace, women's rights, workers' rights, and rights for the disabled. She helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920. Alexander Graham Bell, Mark Twain, and Charlie Chaplin were her friends. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and received honors from around the world. So she considered herself a 'chosen soul'.
It was Dr.Chisholm who advised Helens father to consult doctor Alexander Graham Bell to get information about a proper and suitable School to educate Helen Helen could not imagine that this would be the door that would take her from darkness into light from isolation to friendship, companionship ,knowledge, love.
