Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan - The Miracle Workers

When Helen Keller was a child, she became very sick and lost her hearing and her sight. Fortunately Anne Sullivan became Helen's teacher, and devoted herself to helping. Anne's total COMMITMENT to her student completely changed Helen's life. She taught Helen to spell words with her fingers, to recognize objects by touch, to read Braille, and to speak. While Helen was attending college, Anne spent many hours spelling books and lectures into Helen's hand.

Quotes:

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow."

"All that we love deeply becomes a part of us."

"Life is either a great adventure or nothing."

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
