Stop Saying “Can’t”

Annie Sullivan was a classical educator who began teaching Helen Keller when Keller was only six years old. Sullivan used fingerspelling, a tedious method of tracing out every letter of every word in the palm of Keller’s hand.

By the time Keller was 13, she could read Latin and French using raised print. In high school, she read the Iliad—in Greek.  As you’re likely aware, Keller was blind, deaf, and dumb, and had been since infancy.
