M Y COMMENT ABOUT ANNE SULLIVAN

Anne Sullivan is an excellent example for every person around the world that want to leave the past behind and make a productive future for themselves and other people.
She had a complicated life. She suffered since she was a child. First, with her family that was separated for her mother and father problems. Second, she experienced an ill that took her vision for a while. Thanks to the ill she discovered that she had the need of helped persons with different communication problems. With her effort she came up with a tapping machine to teaching how to writing. Also, she discovered that a person with communication problems can reproduce the same vibrations by touching the throat of other person when is talking.
Anne Sullivan spent her life teaching people with communication problems because she knew how it felt be with this problem and be against them. In addition, she did not wanted other people to suffer the same as her. She loved the act of helped persons.

I AM TEACHER

I am a teacher
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places.
I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Hellen Keller.
I am Aesop and Has Christian Anderson revealing truth through countless stories.
I am Marva Collins fighting for every Child´s right to an Education.
I am Mary McCleod Bethune building a great college for my people, using orange crates for desks.
And I am Bel Kaufman struggling to go Up the down Staircase.
The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame for humanity… Booker T Washington, Buddha, Confucius, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Buscaglia, Moses and Jesus.
I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students.
