When I was only 19 months old, I suffered because of a high fever, the one symptom from my mystery illness, and it made me deaf and blind.
At 6 years old, my parents had me introduced to Anne Sullivan in an attempt to teach me to communicate.
Anne started by teaching me that everything has meaning. I then learned the letters in the alphabet.
Anne also taught me how to express my thoughts and emotions. This was liberating, and I really enjoyed practicing conversing with my family and friends.
As I continued my friendship with Anne, I was motivated to build on this educational foundation and attend public school. First, in 1890, I went to special speech classes at Horace Mann School.
I continued learning from 1894 to 1896. I went to the Wright-Humason
