Helen Keller

This world is filled with people having a variety of roles in the daily life, while some are heroes who have significant influence over the world.  Heroes are always regarded as models full of power, wisdom and strength, people look up to them and waiting for them to guide their way of life. The influence can be long lasting to several generations.

But what makes a hero? Somebody think that a hero is born. If a girl who was deaf and blind from childhood, was it possible for her to be a heroine? Helen Keller, a heroine that was famous all over the world, showed a positive answer. An analysis of the life of Helen Keller may show some factors related to her success, from a personal perspective, a family perspective, and the friends and supports around. A look into her life will also help the young people understand the hardship she experienced and the contributions and care to people around, especially to the disabled.

Helen Keller was a very clever girl when she was born. She was curious about everything around her. It was very painful to be both deaf and blind before two year old. Helen Keller spent her time in the silent and dark world. She never gave up her life and tried to do everything that she thought possible.   Learned sign language was very difficult to her. Generally, a deaf person can rely on his eyes to learn the body language, and a blind person can rely on hearing to learn how to speak. But Helen was both deaf and blind, which made it extremely hard to learn sign language. However, she finally learned sign language by her teacher Anne Sullivan and her own effort. It was miracle for anybody who heard this message. Because of her unremitting spirit and refuse to the destiny, she had the great achievements.

Though it is hard to change the misfortune in one’s life, at least one can still keep hope. She can try her best to do whatever she can to make some changes in the life. When we can change our lives, we may find we also have the power to help others to make a positive change.  Helen Keller said "We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others." (Keller, 2014).  Even with too many obstacles and difficulties ahead, people will turn themselves into heroes if they follow Helen Keller. Everyone can be a hero。
