Middle Childhood Phase Of My Life

On June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Helen Adams Keller came into the world. She was struck by an illness when she was only 19 months old that left her both blind, and deaf. There were several different illnesses that it may have been but the exact one will never be known. Not being able to communicate very well really started to frustrate Helen. When she was seven her parents decided she needed help. Determined to find help the Keller family took her to a specialist and eventually was hooked up with Anne Sullivan. Anne was a graduate of Perkins Institution for the blind. She was now a part of Helen's life for good!

In 1892, Helen and Sullivan left Perkins school and didn’t return because of a mishap with plagiarism. In the year of 1898, Helen attended the Cambridge School for young ladies to help prepare for college. She had always wanted to go to college since a young age. She entered the Radcliffe college in the year 1900. In the next four years she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree. Helen was the first deafblind person to get a Bachelor of Arts degree. Helen began to get a writing career. She had loved to write and read since she was at school in the Perkins School for the Blind. (Helen Keller Biography) Later in her life Helen wrote a book called “The Story of my Life.”(Helen Keller Facts). She also wrote many other books and got them published. In her life she had made 475 speeches and essays.(Helen Keller Facts.)After college Helen started working with the American Foundation for the

Born on June 27th, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Keller fell ill with “an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain” (American Foundation for the Blind, 2015), according to her doctors, in 1882. The illness left her blind and deaf. Four years later, after failures to make herself understood led to “outbursts of passion” (Keller, 1905, Chapter 3), Keller’s mother decided to seek help for her daughter. After visiting numerous physicians and specialists, they finally found their answer at the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where they were paired up with a 20-year-old former student by the name of Anne Sullivan, who became Helen’s instructor and, eventually, her

It displays how Helen a blind girl rejects help from Annie Sullivan disrespectfully. After continuously attempts to try to help her learn how to communicate verbally and through sign language, Helen put up a fight. However this did not hinder what Annie Sullivan planned to do. Her character showed persistence as she never gave up even when this child ignores her assistance, and continues to attack her physical and mentally. The movie demonstrated the miracle of writing and reading by showing that you should never let anything hinder you from educating yourself. Being as though Helen Keller was blind, her family did not bother to truly teach her because of her disability. They made an excuse for it, and instead gave her special treatment by treating her differently. Spoiling her made it almost impossible to teach her true manners being as though all she knew was to fight physically for anything she wanted. Being conditioned to having her way complicated things for Annie but at the same time pushed her more to see a change in Helen’s life. Annie forced Helen to learn by giving her no other choice. Every object that Helen touched she sign the word on Helen’s hand until she put the relationship

The purpose of conducting this secondary research project is to learn about the types of transitions experienced by youths from childhood up to adolescence.

​The transition from childhood to adulthood is a gradual one, marked by milestones, special events, and most importantly, obstacles. There are certain experiences that most people are exposed to such as getting their first job, going through the first breakup, and graduating high school.
