She is one of the disabled people who achieve, in my view, everything in her life regardless of her disability. I think that she achieved it just beacuse of her persitance and because she did not perceived herself as a disabled person. It is a good charachter. In my opinion, disabled person is a person like we only with some problems in their life. Helen Keller is one of the happiest people in the world. I think that some disabled people are much happier than some healthy people. the main point is never give up and always believe yourself.
i agree with you guys. i think disabled people are people who have more challanges than normal people.it does not mean that they shoul be discriminated or something like this. there are some cases when these people achived more things in their life than normal person did
If you noticed disabled people achieve many things regardless of difficulties. I would say she had a strong personality, and strong desire to achieve. Great!
