The text repeatedly stated that Helen was a very intelligent person. She had the ability to prove this by acing tests and eventually speaking english. Despite her inability to see or hear, she was able to accomplish these goals. This proved that this was such a huge milestone in Helen's life. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913222 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913237 In my opinion, the greatest impact that Helen Keller experienced was learning the sign language. If not for the sign language, she would most likely not have attended college and not learned how speak. Without the sign language, no one would know her as the person we know today. She wouldn't have defied the stereotypes of her day, and certainly of ours. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913237 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913306 In my opinion, Helen Keller's most superior achievement was her being able to talk sign language and english. Being deaf and blind, made it extremely difficult. Her whole life, she had to recognize and learn the sign language by being taught into her hand. She was also treated as if she were a monster in her childhood.]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913306 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913344 I believe that one of Helen Keller's biggest accomplishments is her going to college. I believe it is because she was very put down about it, being a blind and deaf female. Many told her she couldn't and even one of her old teachers tried to hold her back for over 2 years of a pre-college. However all of the downs with this dream, came other great things. For instance, Helen got to learn a lot in her few years of pre-college, which helped her to get into an amazing university.]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913344 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913444 I think that learning and understanding what Miss Sullivan taught her was Helen's biggest accomplishment. What I mean by this is that, she learned how to read, understand what was taught at school, etc. For example, she passed her tests in college with sight or hearing. This had the biggest impact on her life since she knew what to do when Miss Sullivan finished teaching her. This was the biggest accomplishment since, one, it was an early accomplishment, and two, it helped her do everything in life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913444 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913457 I think that her understanding what the words meant in sign language is her greatest accomplishment. I think that this is her greatest accomplishment because if she didn't understand what it meant she wouldn't have known how to read. Also if she didn't know how to do that she also wouldn't have known how to spell or talk. Over all if she would have never learned how to to sign language none of her other accomplishments would have happened. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913457 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913488 I feel like Helen Keller's greatest accomplishment is going and finishing college. She was blind and was able to do all the subjects they taught her. She also had to do the math and it wasn't even in brail. Another thing she did in college was make her autobiography. And that book is still being read today.]]> 2018-02-23 21:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913488 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913503 I think Helen's greatest accomplishment was going to school. I think this was the greatest impact on her life because even though she struggled with keeping up with all the work she was still able to do so. Her going to school at Radcliffe helped her to get to college which was her goal. In the text in explains how hard it was for Helen to go through all of this pressure and stress and how it was very hard for her. But the fact that she was able to finish college even though she was blind and deaf, people who have no disabilities can't even get into college. This is why I think Helen going to school was her greatest accomplishment and the one that impacted her life the most.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913503 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913547 I think Helen Keller's greatest accomplishment was learning sign language. I think this because without learning sign language she wouldn't be able to understand much. Without learning it she wouldn't be known as who she is now. Without her not learning sign language we wouldn't know her struggle.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913547 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913561 Her greatest accomplishment was going to and finishing college. This is her biggest accomplishment because she was blind and deaf and still managed to finish college. She was had difficulties in life but still was able to graduate and go through school.Helen Keller was very intelligent and was able to go through college after learning sign language which was also tough and hard.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913561 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913604 I believe that the greatest accomplishment that impacted her life was the one where she went to college. She worked very hard to get to that point in her life and i'm sure  that Miss Sullivan as well Helen Keller's parents are very much proud of her. Miss Sullivan  helped Helen so much and was by her side all the way until the end. Even though Helen had so many hardships and disabilities she always pulled through and Miss Sullivan always helped her and made the best of the situation at all times. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913604 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913607 I think the greatest accomplishment that Helen Keller made, was when she learned the manual alphabet. This is because, a lot of people including her family thought that this couldn't be done. Even though it was a hard thing to learn at first, Helen learned it and was able to communicate with the rest of the outside world. She also got into a university. This proves that no matter what, if you really want something you can achieve it. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913607 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913633 I believe that the greatest accomplishment that impacted her life was having Anne Sullivan as a mentor. Anne Sullivan helped her learn sign language and signals for words. Since Helen was blind and deaf she needed a teacher since her family did not know how to communicate or interact with her. Anne took Helen to the Perkins school for the blind, helen got to interact with kids like her. Helen was taught English, German, and French. Therefore, Anne Sullivan was a big impact on Helen's life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913633 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913658 I think the greatest accomplishment in her life was when she met Mrs. Sullivan. She taught a lot to Helen that she needed throughout her life. In the book, it said that she met her when she was just 6 years old, but those the knowledge she gained lasted a lifetime.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913658 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913672 I think one of her greatest accomplishments was learning how communicate. If Helen Keller hadn't learned how to communicate she probably wouldn't have gone as far as she is now. In the book it talks about how her teacher has to translate everything, this shows how important communication is. This is only one of her many accomplishments.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913672 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913780 I think Helen's biggest accomplishment was her getting into college. The things she was taught during college are things that were valuable because they helped her to have many other accomplishments in the future. Going to college gave her a different outlook on life and it made her realize how valuable time was. With everything she learned and the knowledge she gained, she was able to publish 12 books and a total of seven articles. This gave her the ability to inspire and educate people through her writing. This is why I believe Helen going to college was her biggest accomplishment in life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913780 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913789 Helen has accomplished so much in her life. But it was amazing how she was able to go to school and get a job, while being blind and deaf. It already is hard to get into college but she was able to do that and more. She was able to get a job. It is amazing how determined she is and capable of so many things. She is great role model to all.            ]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913789 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913817 I think that writing her book was the greatest accomplishment. It impacted on her life a lot. Her story told everyone what she has gone through. Her book has probably helped many people to reach their goal. She is very smart and she has accomplished many things. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913817 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913858 Helen Keller accomplished a lot of things one of the accomplishments were learning sign language when she was deaf and blind. Another one is learning how to be a proper lady when she was deaf and blind. Many of these involve her being deaf and blind that's because she was deaf and blind for all her life. Her education of human life. The one that impacted her the most was how to use sign language because she can talk with others without vocal cords.

Even though she did go to collage and she did write books, she had to start somewhere and that was learning how to read and talk. It was a long time before she learned but when she did it was easier because she knows how to talk and read. It's just like saying you are riding a bike with no bike, you need the bike first. She had to learn to read and write before going to school.]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913879 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913926 Helen Keller became mute at a young age from scarlet fever. She had to learn how to live without being able to see or hear her surroundings. Helen learned how read and write in these conditions. She began making public speeches and learned to talk. In my opinion, this is her greatest accomplishments. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913926 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913987 I think that Helen Keller's greatest accomplishment is when she learned to speak and write. When she learned to speak and write, it opened a whole world of new opportunities for her. Since she learned to speak and write she was able to go to school and get a better education. Although she was unable to see and hear she was still able to accomplish many things in her life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234913987 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914009 One of Helen Keller's accomplishments that impacted her life is that she learned how to read. If her mentor did not teach her how to read, then she wouldn't have started studying how to speak. In the book, it exclaims how Helen Keller developed throughout the years and even spoke various lectures. So, if she didn't had Miss. Sullivan , she would still have no manners. In conclusion, Helen Keller achieved many great things. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914009 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914013 The accomplishment that had a large impact on her life would have to be when she learned to talk and communicate with others. This was a huge accomplishment because she was able to figure out what other people where saying and respond  instead of staring at them blankly.  When Helen was a little girl, her family treated her like an animal and letting her roam around and do whatever she wanted. After her teacher Miss. Sullivan came, she acted like a normal kid and was able to understand things.  After she got older she became very successful with writing many books. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914013 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914042 In my opinion, Helen Keller's biggest accomplishment is her learning of sign language and how to write. I think that because her learning of writing and sign language led up to her later accomplishments in life. For example, without learning how to write she wouldn't have wrote her own book. Her book was a huge goal, she accomplished. Because of her learning how to read and write while being deaf and blind she is known as an idol to a tremendous amount of people. Without her learning of sign language and writing Helen wouldn't be known as the person she is today.]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914042 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914102 Helen keller made great accomplishments in her life. One accomplish was that she made was learning sign language. If she didn't accomplish that she wouldn't know how to communicate with people. And she wouldn't have never made The Story of My Life. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914102 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914131 Helen was deaf and blind which made it difficult for her to communicate. I think that the accomplishment of speaking was life altering. I think this because this was what she became famous for.  I say this because in the book she tells us about how after she learned to talk she was was able to give her opinion on many subjects in public.]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914131 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914148 I think her greatest accomplishments was that, she was able to go to school and be able speak to people, read, and write. Without learning these things, she wouldn't know how to write her book, "The Story of My Life". For example, she would stuff food in her mouth like a wild animal, but when Miss Sullivan, taught Helen how to eat, she was able to eat like a normal child. I think that this was a very huge impact on Helen Keller's life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914148 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914249 I think her greatest accomplishment was writing many books, but, I think the one that impacted her really was was learning to read, write, and speak. I think this because without being able to do all of these things, she'd be exactly how she before, a riotous child who did not know what the real world was. For example, before, she used to grab her food from other people's plates and put in her mouth. I think this a major impact on Helen Keller´s life.]]> 2018-02-23 21:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914249 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914576 My opinion on Helen Keller's greatest accomplishment,was learning how to read.

The one that I think was the greatest was the when she she learned sign language. This was her greatest accomplishment because she was able to actually communicate to other people. In order to accomplish any other goal she needed to at least communicate with someone, so she can comprehend what she is doing wrong or what she needs to do.This simple accomplishment lead to many of her other ones like learning how to speak and read. ]]> 2018-02-23 21:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234914801 https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234916417 Helen Keller's greatest accomplishment was to learn and understand English. It was her greatest accomplishment because it took her a long time to do it. She had lots of trouble at the beginning until she understood that they were actual words. Once she learned that words meant something she learned much faster. Last, she started to learn to speak after a lot of practice and sign language she accomplished her goal.]]> 2018-02-23 21:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarcia35/wvq6jh7r10sl/wish/234916417
