Helen Keller Speech
By Kendall Malesky
Hello, my
name is Helen Keller (curtsy). I was born in Alabama in 1880. At age one, I got
really sick and it caused me to go deaf and blind.
helen at age five
In that time I didn’t quite
understand people’s feelings. My parents hired me a teacher and her name was
Anne Sullivan.

One day Anne
took me out to wash my hands. There she spelled the word water in my hands I
understood, after that I was better behaved. Everything was different from then
on because Anne Sullivan kept on spelling words in my hands so I got more words
to say. And I started to feel peoples mouth to hear what they’re saying. That
all helped me get into Radcliffe College. I was the first deaf and blind person
to graduate.
I encouraged
many disabled people, wrote many books, and I was an activist, or a person who
works for change. I died on June 1, 1968 at the age 88 people still remember me
by putting me on the Alabama quarter
And that is
the story of my life. (Curtsy)
