It's hard enough teaching a child who can see, hear, and speak. It would have been a huge effort to teach Helen. They persevered and they did what many thought was impossible.
A most awesome individual. My favorite quote by Helen Keller is, “There’s nothing worse than having sight and no vision.” Beautiful lady and pretty child too. Praise God for her life and legacy. Rest in peace angel.
I wish they could add captions! Luckily I have one cohlear implant hearing aid. I'm born deaf both ears . I used to have that movie when I was very young. Today I learned about her in my ASL class. (If you are wondering why I'm in still ASL 1 class is because when I was infant. I got surgery so I can able to hear WITH my hearing aid on. Doctors want me to speak more and more speech. I'm in high school still difficult. It was so different from Elementary.) Bleh. I'm good. @Brady Lol, really? :P How can you not notice that? Deaf people can not read lips while watching the video using voice with no face. (IDK if my sentences makes sense..) Plus I check the video if they have caption. It is not there.
As a child with minimal brain dysfunction, school was very difficult for me. One teacher read a book about Helen Keller. I was inspired to attend university because of this. Previously I thought this would have been impossible.
I am so sad that I will never be able to meet this amazing woman, but I am so happy in a sense that my words will never explain well enough that she lived a life more full of joy than most of us will ever.
The professor at the end of the video spoke about Helen Keller and her living proof of being able to live a full and productive life...what an understatement! This amazing woman did so much more than many of us WITHOUT disabilities could ever do or hope to do!
Yes!! Helen did much more than most of us will ever do. We are poor next to her and even with our sight and hearing we will never achieve so many things,i won't achieve as much..i love learning and reading and i am very inquisitive since i was a child but Helen is exceptional and Anne was bright too..She is the proof that nobody is useless and that we can live even with our disabilities.
Frenchie have point. Helena already did many thing when she little girl. She did eat food from her family plate. She don’t know how to eat or thing like that. Till parent hired teacher Helen Keller for full time.
Last week two thirty-something college graduates (from different careers) didn't know who Helen Keller was. I was surprised they didn't know her, even more because one of them has a degree in music therapy, but even after I told them a little bit about her they hadn't heard about her. So I think plenty of people in the world doesn't know about her.
My tiny fragile human brain can't even comprehend how this woman could possibly learn to communicate let alone have such deep and profound thoughts. Some of her quotes hit home so hard. Life is indeed a daring adventure or nothing at all
Helen Keller was a truly inspirational person.She defeated the notion that blind and deaf people are always going to be restricted by their disability.Helen was an advocate for disability rights,women's suffrage,and pacifism.I respect Anne Sullivan for learning Helen to finger spell and achieve the freedom to communicate effectively and live her life normally.Rest in peace Helen,you will be remembered and missed.
Hellen Keller was a great human being. Her life story, her words, and her voice for humanity should be heard forever, as an inspiration to the many who face adversity and to others so they may appreciate how some have very difficult lives but also have hope and compassion. We can all learn from her outstanding example of the human spirit.
+Augustova Brentankya No… Captioned for the deaf. Helen Keller was also DEAF. People who have combined vision and hearing loss might appreciate a visual description and captions. HOWEVER, the reason I posted this comment was because a deaf friend of mine, not blind, is a professional that alps works with people with combined vision and hearing loss. She would like it captioned as well.
Bravo, to Miss. Helen Adams Keller, for trail blazing, the way for other people that were also blind and deaf. She was really fantastic. And so compassionate toward everyone. She had achieved many milestones, through out her life.
My mother was the youngest of 15 kids. Her mother went blind when my mom was about 6 months old. I think her mother was about 43 when she went blind. But my mom used to always tell the story, that Helen Keller came to visit her mother once. I always thought that was kinda cool, considering they were just farmers in Northern Ohio.
Helen Keller should be remembered as a good influence for people with disabilities worldwide! She is one of my favorite international travelers and American women.
Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke did outstanding performance in The Miracle Worker. Helen Keller was an amazing child to learn what comes easier for others. Miss Sullivan opened the world to this wonderful woman.
Every second just watching her or hearing her when she DID speak is a blessing in this life. "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content" - my Favorite Hellen Keller quote
Thank God that Helen Keller showed people that other people with disabilities deserved to live and...to often thrive. She truly was an earth angel and hero.
Are you serious???😆🤣😂 helen keller was an avid supporter of eugenics! 🤣 She wrote letters to doctors who delivered babies born with birth defects, urging them to commit infanticide in some form. She believed that these babies would become criminals and be a drain on society. You could not have possibly come up with a more ironic statement if you had tried!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 And on a side note, she was also a socialist...likely because she grew up with wealth privilege. You'll never find a person who crawled out of poverty pushing for socialism! It's so funny, really. She believed in eugenics as a disabled person who was allowed to live, and believed in socialism while she only experienced a middle-class lifestyle. Very telling.😄🤣😂
@@oddlycreatetiff8920 Thank you so much for enlightening me.🤗 I apologize for my ignorance about Helen Keller. I promise that I will read her memoir and learn more about her beliefs. Very disturbing...🤔
My older brother used to tell me that Helen Keller hid underneath my bed and would rip my ears off when I'm sleeping so that she could obtain them for her collection. I believed this for about a decade.
Annie Sullivan really made a difference in young Helen's life. When she came to give Helen guidance and teach her important skills, for being a deaf and blind child, it was very difficult at first.
Imagine...the State of Texas recently decided to exclude the life of Helen Keller from the educational curriculum, as not important enough..! This amazing woman was so important to history...an inspiration
Helen Keller was a very intelligent women whom overcame many odds for the handicapped that fell upon her at the age of 18 months. Her teacher Ann Sullivan was marvelous in being able to reach into Helens young mind and pull out the brilliance that was hidden. The two of them together really helped educate about handicapped people and how to help aide the deaf and blind which opened a whole new world for them. Just an amazing story.
Little known fact about Helen Keller: When she was in her 20's, doctors actually removed both oh her eyes and replaced them with glass ones. Helen's left eye protruded quite noticeably and wasn't too attractive. In all her early photographs, Helen was always shown in a right profile until her eyes were changed.
+John Greene I had read that before too. When I looked at a photo of her, I saw that her eyes didn't have the look of a blind person's eyes, if that makes sense. Your comment clears up that question.
Good summary. I've recently created a short animation based on Helen Keller's life based on her autobiography which covers many of the same aspects of her early life but in a little bit more detail.
Rachel Mason I'm not able to post links here but if you search youtube for 'how to overcome obstacles helen keller' it is the first result. Let me know what you think!
+laura Silveria I gather she's a well-known figure in the USA but it's a shame her story isn't more known elsewhere in the world. It's truly inspirational.
I don't think it was about people thinking they 'didn't deserve to live' more so they know it's an incredibly difficult way to live and the obstacles are endless. Not only that, but there would be no way of knowing the amount of effort that would be needed to support them. Helen's teacher was an incredibly patient woman (and thankfully Helen's family were supportive and well-off) but this kind of support and those resources are both very rarely available to those with these conditions.
It's because of her that my brothers my sister my friends and family and myself have the opportunity to actually have a life. As for in the past both my brothers and my sister and most of my friends would have been forcefully taken away from our Holmes and put in institutions and have done unspeakable Horrors done 2 Us. My entire family and friends are truly grateful.
A wonderful human, this is what we are capable of, I would love aliens to see and hear this story before they see the rest of what we can do. I agree with Pupidy below, it really started with Ann her own tutor, until today I have never thought of or even heard of her own teacher, what an inspiration they are for all of us
Kid me for some reason heard the name hellen keller and everytime someone says something stupid or does something stupid i said: you sound like helen keller on a friday night (i still use it to this day lol) but seriously... props to her

@@melonmelon309no. She learned how to speak by feeling with her thumb under the chin (that indicated tongue glottal movements like in the letter “g), and a finger by the mouth and one by the nose of her teacher.
@@No_auto_toon Ok, sorry, my 6th grade presentation failed me. Though, I was partially right as she went blind and deaf at the age of 2, therefore she could still speak a little.
@@melonmelon309 less than 2. She was 1 1/2 years old even if she could speak some words the things they say about her cant be true if she was fully deaf and blind.
She was an amazing woman.. She never heard anyone or could see but somehow has a british accent.. then writes 12 books and write perfect english writing style and flew a plane once.. With no sight , hearing but learns accent and speaks british.. So amazing.. OR is it a good scam... ahhahaha
Happy birthday Helen Keller. I pray that you have a wonderful blessed birthday. I know you're up in heaven with God enjoying your new eyes and ears. We're very grateful for everything that you did to help others here on Earth and your legacy will forever remain a symbol of strength and perseverance. God bless you I can't wait to meet you.
Shoutout to her teacher though for sticking with her for so long and for giving up her own time to help Hellen.
