When she was only 19 months old when she lost her sight and hearing due to an unknown illness. She was an extremely intelligent child who became aware of her difference from an early age, and was so frustrated by her inability to communicate with her parents that she would frequently fly into rages, sometimes on an hourly basis. Then at 7 years old, her parents trusted Anne Mansfield Sulivan to be Helen Keller's teacher. Helen was taught to read Braille alphabeths until she understood what it's means. Anne taught Helen to spoke diligently, so Helen said:
" The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
 She learned French, German, Greek, and Latin language through Braille. At 20 years old, Helen studied at Radcliffe College,
Radcliffe College

In 1914, Helen Keller has travelled around America to became an activist, counselor, and lecturer, especially for children who had limitations like herself. She also visited the soldiers in Europe who involved in World War II with Anne Sulivan. In 1923, Helen became spokeswoman for American Foundation for the Blind and she manage fundraising to made better education for sufferers of physical limitations.

Keller wrote 12 books and several articles. The name of the books are The King Frost (1891), The Story of My Life (1903), The World I Live in (1908), Out of The Dark (1913), My Religion (1927) which was republished as Light in my Darkness, and so on.
