 * The life of Helen Keller**

Helen Keller was born in 1880 as a healthy child. That was until a fever left her blind, deaf, and mute. As her life went on, she made her parents life misrable by throwing violent tantrums. But she could be sweet when she wanted to. It was just when she did not get what she wanted, was she like that. Somtimes her parents did not know what she wanted, so they just gave her candy to keep her quiet.

Soon, Helen's parent's grew tired of her tantrums and hierd a teacher to try and make this wild child calm. Her name was Anne Sullivan. Helen, at first, was not a big fan of Anne, but Anne did not care. Anne taught Helen the words "doll, cake, water". Soon Helen knew all she needed to know about the mute alphabet, that she could comunicate so the tantrums slowly drifted out of the picture.

The world knew nothing of Helen until she wrote a speech in 1906. Now everyone knew of the girl who defeated the odds of never even have a chance at this. Soon after this Helen and Anne received a fellowship to the University of Scottland. This inspiered people around the world.In 1968 Helen died of natral cause when she was 98. It was 8 years after Anne had died.

They were both cremated and their ashes were placed side by side in the Washington national cathedral.So the "simpleminded" child ended up being a world known idle. Helen lived a long happy life and got many acheivments in that 98 years (1880-1968) and overcoming many obsticals.
