=speech= Ladies and gentlemen We gathered here today for a wonderful reason – to open the elementary school for the blind. Here we hope to educate children to have the foundations of normal school life, while teaching them according to their special challenge. Hopefully, in the future, they will be able to join their friends in regular schools and become good students despite their special needs. We are calling this institute in memory of Helen Keller as she is an inspiration for both the students and their teachers. Helen had a double challenge. Helen couldn't see. Helen couldn't hear. Did she give up? No. She tried harder. True, she had a wonderful teacher. She had a dedicated family. She had a strong will. She was a dreamer and she succeeded. She not only learned in a regular College, she finished her degree in excellence in French and German. Helen wouldn't stop there. She became a lecturer, she changed the law to help other blind people. She became their spokesperson for all those who couldn't speak. She became their voice, their light. Even though she couldn't see, she brought light to others and we hope to do the same right here. May these children learn her ways and succeeed.

=rationale= The teacher chose to write about Women of Valor. We chose to write about Helen Keller because she was wonderful women and she can be model for imitation for other people. We can learn from her how to not give up and how to overcome what we think that is impossible. In addition Helen did a lot for the blind community, she fought for their rights. We can see that she wanted the best for everyone and she didn’t care only about herself. Helen became very famous because she was the first blind and deaf person who succeeded in her life so much and this is how we heard about her.
