Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive.By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world.But even so she had limitations.
At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people.She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths.Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips.She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself.She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood.This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room,kicking and screaming in frustration.
As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse.She became wild and unruly .If she didn’t get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in.Her favourite tricks included grabbing other people’s food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor.Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry.Eventually it became clear that something had to be done.So,just before her seventh birthday,the family hired a private tutor — Anne Sullivan.
After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world.Today that agency,Helen Keller International,is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.
