Helen Keller was an American author most famous for overcoming the challenges caused by an illness that left her deaf and blind. When Helen Keller was 19 months old, she was stricken with an infectious disease that is now believed to be scarlet fever or meningitis. After struggling to live, Keller became blind and deaf because of the infection. While she was born with brown eyes, the illness caused her to have her eyes removed and replaced with blue eyes made of glass. At the age of seven with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Keller was able to learn how to finger spell words while touching objects to build her vocabulary. Soon, Helen Keller was able to move from phrases like short, wavy hair to describe her own features to writing entire stories. Helen Keller became a renowned advocate for the education of all students and became a shining example of how many challenges can be overcome with the help of a teacher.
