Today I am here with a very inspirational personality. Helen Keller is no doubt a name that doesn’t require introduction. A woman who suffered from deafblindness in her early childhood, although she was born with the ability to see and hear, conquered the hearts of people with her lively vision and strong will. She is perhaps the person most popularly associated with the condition of deafblindness. She could have made this suffering a setback for herself but she didn’t let this deficiency drive her life. She studied at Radcliffe College and got the degree of Bachelor of Arts, indeed the first deafblind person to earn a degree. Her teacher Anne Sullivan has the credit to make this girl aware and taught her to communicate. She became an author, a lecturer and political activist. Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27 (year 1880) and this day of June is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S state of Pennsylvania. If you read her autobiography “The Story of My Life (1903)” you will realize that she was born with the unique abilities and sense and also strong will power. I am sure you will have tears in eyes knowing her sensitive and deep thoughts and her ways to communicate these. She couldn’t see with her eyes but she was blessed with the eyes of heart with which she used to see and feel like any other human being, perhaps more than one.

Instead of becoming lethargic as an excuse for her deficiencies and miseries, she is the woman who didn’t decide to sit back and curse her life; rather she didn’t let her heart become insipid !! She lived and became inspiration for all the other deficient people as well as others blessed with all five senses. She died on June 1, 1968 at the age of 87, but, I believe, she will remain alive through her words and vision, till the world ends…
She definitely deserves my salute as well as yours
