Hellen Keller was an American author, political activist and lecturer who was born on June 27, 1880 at Tuscumbia, a little town in northern Alabama.

Her teacher, Miss Sullivan taught her to communicate and helped in learning many great things.

Helen was a great lover of nature and studied mostly with nature. She travelled a lot as she had desire to see and experience new things. She liked the company of others also. She made many friends in her journey. She learnt various subjects with the help of her teacher. She became weak when her first writing was regarded as plagiarism but she soon overcame.

____________________________
Helen Keller was born on 27th June 1880 in
Tuscumbia in Alabama. Her father, Arthur H. Keller, was a descendant of Caspar
Keller who was a native of Switzerland. He was a captain in the confederate
army. Helen’s mother was Kate Adams who was Arthur’s second wife and was many
years younger. At the age of nineteen months, Helen became very ill with brain
fever. When the fever subsided, Helen was left blind and deaf forever. Helen was
quite eager to learn. Despite her handicap she had learnt some crude signs of
communication and also how to fold the clothes etc. later, she showed
exceptional capabilities for learning and very soon could learn to read, write
or even speak. She had voracious passion for learning, knowledge and
exploration.



Like Wordsworth, she learnt to find solace in nature and its
peaceful serenity. Her power of observation was commendable. How beautifully
she has described the details of her observations! Even those with eyes and
ears cannot describe as beautifully as she has done. Natural beauty was
abundant around her house. The Keller homestead was quite near a rose- bower.
Its old fashioned garden was the paradise of her childhood. Before Miss
Sullivan's arrival, this garden was the place where Helen went to find comfort
and hide her hot face in the cool leaves and grass. Helen felt extremely happy
in that garden of flowers, wandering happily from spot to spot. She could
recognize each vine and plant by touching them.  



Helen was a prodigy child since her early childhood!
However, 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 courage and perseverance are source of inspiration for all mankind!
