My name is Helen Keller. I was born June 27th, in 1880 and I became deaf and blind when I was a year and a half. As a child, it was tough for me to lern, I was called a wild child, I moved to New York City when I was 13. I am famous for being the first deafblind person to graduate college. After I graduated I traveled around the world and spoke about being deaf and blind and about women's rights. Some interesting facts about me are: I wrote a book called The Story of My Life. My first word was it I lerned it from putting my fingers on Anne's mouth, nose and throat. I was in a movie called Deliverance about my life.

Thank You.
Helen Keller died June 1, 1968. I chose this person because she over came her disabilites and helped others and she's from Tuscumbia. My name is Ellyssa Tennery.
Now some of these things are misspelled and need commas, but it was written by a second grader. She made a 100%. Mommy and Daddy couldn't be any prouder!
