Helen Keller

Deaf and blinded by a childhood fever, Helen Keller created history when she became the first blind person to have ever enrolled and graduated from an institution of higher learning.

Although she never realized her dream to talk, Helen was indirectly responsible in the creation of Braille and raising awareness on the welfare of blind and deaf people around the world.
