The incredible story of Helen Keller: she became the first deaf-blind person to receive a college degree

Helen Keller was born a healthy child, but lost the ability to hear and speak at the age of one. However, this did not stop her from graduating from college and becoming a writer. She was a symbol of struggle for people with disabilities, lived a long life and was the first in the United States to have dogs of the Akita Inu breed.

Just one short spring

In the 19th century, the Keller estate was located in the small town of Tuscumbia in northern Alabama. The estate was quite small, but very beautiful. Over the long years of existence, dark green ivy has tightly braided all the walls of the dwelling, leaving only tiny gaps around the windows. Clusters of grapes and bright buds of climbing roses squeezed through the thick layer of foliage. nine0003

Ivy wrapped not only the house, but also the fence and even the extension that the head of the family, Arthur Keller, built after the Civil War. Violets and lilies of the valley bloomed nearby. In the garden one could find one of the earliest berries – sweet and sour honeysuckle. And the snow-white clematis filled all the space where the ivy could not get through. All this beauty was watched by Arthur’s wife, Kat Adams. There was a whole family plantation here.

On June 27, 1880, silence and idyll broke in the garden. The Kellers had a girl named Helen, who from the first cry began to show who is now in charge. She was a storm and a thunderstorm that grabbed and demolished everything in its path and demanded a lot of attention. At six months, she loudly asked for a drink: “Tea, tea, tea!” And four years later I learned to run confidently. nine0003

When her parents did something against her will, the girl ran to the garden. She found solace in floral scents and loved to play with the morning dew. “Those happy days did not last long. Just one short spring, ringing with the chirping of bullfinches and mockingbirds, just one summer, generous with fruits and roses, just one red-gold autumn, ”Helen later writes in her book.

Curiosity, fear and anger

The following February, Helen collapsed with a fever. For three weeks, the parents brought down their daughter’s fever every day, but nothing helped. The doctor diagnosed a strong rush of blood to the brain and stomach and told the parents that if the temperature did not subside, the girl would not survive. He advised Arthur and Kat to say goodbye to their daughter.

One day the disease receded as suddenly as it had begun, but left behind consequences that changed the girl’s life – Helen lost her sight and hearing. “Gradually, I got used to the darkness and silence that surrounded me, and I forgot that once everything was different.” She stopped talking because she couldn’t remember how the words sounded. nine0003

At first Helen did not understand how to communicate with other people and objects. She did not know what was edible and what was not. How do you explain to your mother that she wants ice cream? And how to understand in general which of all family members and servants in the house is her mother?

In a few weeks the girl looked like a Mowgli child. She made frightening lowing and growling sounds, screamed, and often fell into hysterics. She stopped combing her hair, did not allow herself to be washed, and flatly refused to use cutlery. Helen herself recalls that at that time she was overwhelmed with three feelings: curiosity, fear and anger. nine0003

The girl’s parents could not find a way to approach her. The only thing they managed to explain to Helen was their presence. Mom always put her hand on her cheek, and her father put glasses on the bridge of her nose. This calmed her for a while and gave her a sense of security.

By the age of 5, the girl became uncontrollable, and even a few servants could not pacify her. The situation was greatly aggravated when Helen’s younger sister was born. The girl noticed that little attention was paid to her. Once, in a fit of anger, she locked her mother in a closet for three hours. This prompted the spouses to the idea of ​​sending the child to a boarding school. nine0003

“As I grew up, the desire to express myself grew. The few signs I used became less and less suited to my needs, and the inability to explain what I wanted was accompanied by outbursts of rage. I felt some invisible hands holding me, and I made desperate efforts to free myself. I fought. Not that these wallowing helped, but the spirit of resistance was very strong in me. Usually I ended up bursting into tears, and everything ended in complete exhaustion. nine0003

If my mother happened to be around at that moment, I crawled into her arms, too unhappy to remember the cause of the storm that had passed. After a while, the need for new ways to communicate with others became so urgent that outbursts of anger were repeated every day, and sometimes every hour.

By some lucky chance, Kat read in Charles Dickens’ American Notes the story of the deaf-blind Laura Bridgman, who learned to live comfortably and understand other people. The girl’s mother decided to try to find Helen a teacher. nine0003 Photo: Stanton Avery collection at the New England Historical Museum

Kicked and screamed to the point of exhaustion

At the same time, Arthur heard about the miraculous Baltimore optometrist. For his sake, he decided to go on his first train journey with the whole family. But the meeting with the doctor was not successful. He couldn’t do anything, and neither could the next doctor he recommended. The Keller family fell into a medical funnel from which it was impossible to get out. All the doctors advised each other, it took a lot of time and effort, but did not give any result. nine0003

When her parents were ready to give up, Arthur got the contact of the director of the Perkins Institute in Boston, who could advise the girl on a good teacher. And it worked. In the summer of 1886, when Helen was 6 years old, Miss Sullivan promised that she would visit the family in a year.

“I don’t remember when I first realized that I was different from other people, but I’m sure it happened before my teacher arrived. I noticed that my mother and my friends do not use signs, as I do, when they want to communicate something to each other. They spoke with their mouths. Sometimes I stood between two interlocutors and touched their lips. However, I could not understand anything, and I was annoyed. I also moved my lips and gesticulated frantically, but to no avail. At times it made me so angry that I kicked and screamed to the point of exhaustion. nine0003

On March 7, 1887, there was an unusual bustle at the Keller estate from early morning, everyone was preparing for something. Helen ran to her mother, touched the hem of her skirt and realized that she was wearing an outfit for special occasions. The girl went out onto the porch, sat down and waited to see what would happen. After some time, the girl heard steps and extended her hand to her mother. But it turned out not to be her, but the very long-awaited teacher who was only 14 years older than the girl herself.

Miss Sullivan gave Helen a doll and slowly wrote the word on her palm. The child thought it funny that the woman was tapping something on her hand. She decided to repeat after her. “I did not understand that I was spelling a word, and even what it meant; I just, like a monkey, folded my fingers and forced them to imitate what I felt. nine0003

And that was one of the teacher’s most difficult tasks – to explain that she was tapping out not some kind of rhythm, but words with which the girl would be able to communicate.

“Everything in the world has a name!”

The next day, Miss Sullivan began to introduce Helen to the world again. She took her hand and put it under the stream of water, tapping her fingers on the girl’s palm: “V-o-d-a.” She put two dolls on her knees, tapping out: “K-u-k-l-a.”

“I left the well full of zeal for learning. Everything in the world has a name! Each new name gave rise to a new thought! On the way back, every object I touched pulsated with life. This happened because I saw everything with some strange new vision that I had just acquired. nine0003

As Helen learned new words, so did her view of the world. The teacher took her to the family garden and tapped the names of flowers on her hand, let her touch them, explained how birds build nests and plants grow out of the ground.

The girl fell in love with walking in the garden again. When she was hot (which is how Helen felt good weather and sunshine), she would inhale the scent of various garden flowers and ask the teacher to have breakfast on the tree. There, the girl asked many questions about the structure of the world. This went on for several years. nine0003

Then, when the girl’s vocabulary was full enough for her to express herself freely and carry on a conversation, the teacher began to teach Helen to write. To do this, she cut out raised letters from cardboard. The child immediately understood what was happening, and this activity became his favorite game. What could not be said about mathematics. Addition and subtraction caused Helen outbursts of anger, with which she lived until she met the teacher. At the same time, Miss Sullivan never put pressure on the girl. She turned every lesson into an interesting game. The study of numbers was the weaving of a bracelet of beads, botany was taught through planting flowers, and zoology was taught through a gift of a canary, which had to be learned to care for. nine0003

In May 1888, Helen visited the Institute for the Blind for the first time. There she met many children who also knew how to tap their thoughts on their palms.

From that moment on, the girl began to feel like a full-fledged member of society. She could communicate using the manual alphabet, read and write. She made many friends. Parents began to take Helen with them on trips, because the girl stopped throwing tantrums. And Miss Sullivan was always there and tapped out everything that happened around her. nine0003

“I’m not silent anymore!”

When Helen was 10 years old, she learned about the deaf-blind Norwegian Ragnhild Kaat, who learned to speak. This became her new goal.

On March 26, 1890, Helen went to the headmistress of the Horace Mann School and began the first class. The lessons were based on the fact that Miss Sarah Fuller gave the girl to touch the position of the tongue and throat when making a particular sound, and Helen had to try to repeat.

In eleven sessions, Helen learned to speak as much as possible. She could speak some words, but she stuttered badly. An unadapted person could not make out her speech. Therefore, her teacher, Miss Sullivan, continued to study with her at home, so that the girl could learn to speak basic sentences and explain her needs. nine0003

“My job was to practice, practice, practice. Fatigue and despondency often oppressed me, but the next moment the thought that soon I would get home and show my family what I had achieved urged me on. I passionately imagined their joy at my success: “Now my sister will understand me!” This thought was stronger than all obstacles. In ecstasy, I repeated again and again: “I am no longer silent!” I was amazed at how much easier it turned out to speak, and not draw signs with my fingers. nine0003 Photo: Whitman, Chelsea, Mass

Student years

In 1891, Helen became involved in a scandal. She wrote the story “King Frost” and sent it as a gift to one of her teachers, Mr. Anagnos, at the Perkins Institute for the Blind. The teacher liked the gift so much that he published it in a magazine. And a few days later it turned out that a story with such a plot already exists and its author is Margaret Canby. Helen was accused of plagiarism.

Miss Sullivan confirmed that the girl made up the story in front of her, which she had no intention of copying. Most likely, Helen was in such euphoria from the ability to speak that she had an attack of cryptomnesia – a state when a person is poorly oriented between dreams and reality. The girl could confuse the story she read with her own ideas and thoughts. nine0003

Anyway, because of the scandal, the relationship with the principal of the school was damaged. Helen was forced to study from home. Her parents paid for her tutors who came to the family estate. Helen began to learn French and German. She dreamed of reading the fables of Lafontaine and The Imaginary Sick in the original, and she succeeded.

In 1894, Helen entered the Wright-Humason School, but only studied there for two years. Then she transferred to the Cambridge School for Young Ladies. Autumn 1900, a 20-year-old girl became a student at Radcliffe College. The tycoon Henry Rogers paid for her education at the request of Helen’s friend Mark Twain, whom she met in 1895 at a dinner in New York. Twain’s daughter was the same age as Helen, the writer became a lifelong friend of the girl. She recognized him by his smell because Twain was a heavy smoker.

Helen’s student life was not easy, because not all teachers were ready to work with people with disabilities. They were dictating too quickly, and Miss Sullivan could only tap out part of it. And since the girl’s hands were busy reading the manual alphabet, she could not write anything down. She had to restore everything from memory in the evening. She typed homework and tests on a typewriter. nine0003

In college, Helen developed left-wing political views. She fought for the rights of workers and suffragettes. As a student, she wrote the book “The Story of My Life”, which many years later became a bestseller and was translated into 50 languages.

Farewell to Miss Sullivan

Helen graduated from college in 1904. She became the first deaf-blind person to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. In the same year, the girl married socialist and Harvard teacher John Macy. And she joined the Socialist Party. This provoked a wave of negativity. Helen ceased to be associated with Americans with a sweet girl who managed to achieve a lot. Now she was an object of ridicule and harassment. nine0003

To get rid of unnecessary public attention and regain her inspiration, the girl went to live in a remote village with Miss Sullivan and her husband. There, Helen wrote the books The World I Live in, The Song of the Stone Wall, and Out of the Darkness, gave her first interview, and joined the Industrial Workers of the World. In 1914, she separated from her husband, but the wife’s divorce was never formalized.

Helen actively broadcast her political views and lectured around the country, because this was the only way for her to earn money. Books did not bring her a penny. During the First World War, Helen took up anti-war activities. A little later, she publicly supported Lenin’s policy. nine0003

Miss Sullivan died in 1936. The writer took this loss hard, because no other person in the world could tap everything that happened around her so quickly on her palms.

“I cannot explain the special sympathy with which Miss Sullivan treated my amusements and whims. Perhaps this was the result of her long association with the blind. To this was added her amazing ability for vivid and lively descriptions, ”wrote Helen.

After the death of the teacher, Helen traveled around the country alone and lectured. She had a secretary who helped her deal with finances. But he could not communicate with a woman as freely as Miss Sullivan did. nine0003

A symbol of struggle and opportunity

During World War II, Helen supported blind soldiers and visited hospitals. While traveling around the world, she met Charlie Chaplin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Will Rogers and others.

When Helen was 75 years old, she went on a five-month trip to Japan. There, she accidentally stumbled upon a monument to Hachiko and learned the story of a dog that had been waiting at the train station for nine years for its owner to return. After that, she wanted to get a pet of this breed. The first dog was given to her by a man, whose name she never found out, and the second one was given by the representative office of Japan. She returned home with the dogs. They became the first Akita Inu in the United States. nine0003

In the last years of her life, Helen sometimes resorted to the help of Polly Thomson, who during various interviews knocked journalists’ questions into her hands.

On June 1, 1968, shortly before her 88th birthday, Helen passed away at her home. She was posthumously awarded the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure First Class. Many documentaries and feature films have been made about Helen. Streets named after her can be found in different countries. Her home is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. And in the Capitol there is a monument to Keller. nine0003

Helen Keller has become a symbol of struggle and opportunity for many people with disabilities. Her learning experience was officially documented and added to Soviet and American psychology textbooks.
