=Biography=

 Helen Adams Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama at 27th of June, 1880 to Captain Arthur Henley Keller and Kate Adams Keller**.**

 When she was 19 months old she got sick and had changed to a blind-deaf toddler. Nobody can understand her. Her behavior became unbearable because she didn't succeed to express herself. When the others didn't realize her desires she got really upset and went into a tantrum. Helen was sprawling on the floor. she used to throw herself on the floor kicking and screaming. Since her family couldn't manage her, she became very spoiled. She was able to communicate somewhat with Martha Washington, the six year old daughter of the family cook, who understood her signs, by the age of seven she had over 60 home signs to communicate with her family. Anne Sullivan arrived at her house in March 1887, and immediately began to teach her to communicate by spelling words into her hand, beginning with doll for the doll that she had brought her as a present. Helen's big breakthrough in communication came the next month, when she realized that the motions that her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water". She then nearly exhausted Sullivan demanding the names of all the other familiar objects in her world.

 Starting in May, 1888, Keller attended the Perkins Institute for the Blind. In 1894, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan moved to New York to attend the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, and to learn from Sarah Fuller at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf. In 1896, they returned to Massachusetts and Keller entered The Cambridge School for Young Ladies before gaining admittance, in 1900, to Radcliffe College, where she lived in Briggs Hall, South House. Her admirer, Mark Twain, had introduced her to Standard Oil magnate Henry Huttleston Rogers, who, with his wife, paid for her education. In 1904, at the age of 24, Keller graduated from Radcliffe, becoming the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She maintained a correspondence with the Austrian philosopher and pedagogue Wilhelm Jerusalem, who was one of the first to discover her literary talent. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She is remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities, amid numerous other causes. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, an opponent of Woodrow Wilson, a radical socialist and a birth control supporter. In 1915 she and George Kessler founded the Helen Keller International organization. This organization is devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union. Keller and Sullivan traveled to over 39 countries, making several trips to Japan and becoming a favorite of the Japanese people. Keller met every U.S. President from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson and was friends with many famous figures, including Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain.

 In Helen's disability she giving light for the whole world.

=Interview=  When I was 19 months old I got sick and I had become a blind-deaf toddler. Nobody could understand me. My behavior became unbearable because I didn't succeed to express myself. When the others didn't realize my desires I got really upset and went into a tantrum. I was sprawling on the floor. I used to throw myself on the floor kicking and screaming. Since my family couldn't manage me, and felt sorry for me, I became very spoiled. I was not born blind and deaf, it was not until I was 19 months old that I contracted an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain", which might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. The illness did not last for a particularly long time, but it left me deaf and blind.
 * 1) why weren't you a cultured person, why were you a wild kid? **
 * 2) What caused you to be deaf and blind? **

** 3) How did your family respond when they found out that their daughter is deaf ** ** and blind? ** I think that my family responded like every normal family that discovered there daughter is blind and deaf and can't communicate with the people around her. It was very difficult during the time I was wild**,** nobody succeeded to come closer to me.

<span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Our teacher chose that the project will be written about Women of Valor. At the first we didn’t manage to decide who we write about. We consult with our parents and they gave us the idea to write about Helen Keller. They tolled us the story in shortly and we fall in love with the character of Helen end we wanted to expand the knowledge that we hoard. <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Another reason we choose about her that Helen change the comprehension of the people around us. That everyone can do everything end it isn't important the difficult important the wish and the perseverance.
