Helen Keller

Here's an amazing video of a woman by the name of Helen Keller who became deaf and blind at the age of 19 months after a childhood sickness. She conquered her circumstances and earned herself a Bachelor of Arts and wrote numerous books, including her own biography.  During her lifetime, she inspired many others and even met a few US Presidents.  What an amazing woman who was not defeated by circumstances but rose above it all.  The human spirit is indeed amazing. I'm reminded to always have a positive outlook on things and never to wallow in self-pity but rise above difficult situations. Most importantly, God is always there to lift us up when we are down.
