Helen Keller – by Tony Kim June Cheol, Year 8, Sayfol International
School
Helen
Keller was a lady who couldn’t see or hear. But she succeeded in doing many
amazing things in her life. There are several specific reasons why I admire
her.
Firstly,
she learned lots of things despite her handicap. She learned only by touching. Without
the ability to see, hear or speak, it is very difficult for anyone to learn.
However, she even managed to go to college. It is not easy to anyone to go to
college; we must study hard to get in. It is admirable that she managed to get
in although she couldn’t see or hear. For her, any activity was hard but her
handicap did not stop her.
Secondly,
she was a very determined person. She never gave up no matter difficult things
were. Many people looked down on her and discriminated against her because of
her handicap but she did not care. Because of her handicap, life was hard but
she did not give up. She even went to work with normal people. Even on the day
her mother died, she still went to work. Her determination is admirable.
Thirdly,
she was very pitiful. She got teased a lot by others. Some people scorned her
because she was handicapped. They wanted to use her for various reasons. She
did not have many friends because it was difficult for her to communicate with
others due to her handicap. The only true friend she had was her teacher, Ann
Sullivan. So, at times, she was very lonely, living in a world without sight or
sound.
In
conclusion, I admire Helen Keller because although she could not see or hear,
she was highly successful. There are many things we can learn from her.
