The story of Helen Keller continues to inspire me. Amazing is one simple word to describe Helen who was an author, lecturer and political activist. She was also the first blind and deaf person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. We had a chance to again visit her homestead, Ivy Green, earlier this school year on a Homeschool Roster field trip. The Miracle Worker is not only the story about Helen, but that of Anne Sullivan whom her parents hired to serve as Helen’s governess and teacher. See the story in Helen Keller’s autobiography The Story of My Life come to life on the stage.
