How does it feels when i have lost my eyes and ears?
means i can't hear and see at all..
imagine yourself seeing the darkness and the only sound we hear is silence..
oh...how horrible!
I am now reading a book by someone named Helen Keller.Have you heard of her before?
Well, the book is about her life..
she is a lady who has lost her sight and hearing and still, she made it into university.
In that book,she describes how she learn words and how she communicates with other people without being able to see and hear.
It really fascinates me that she even wrote a book!hey..the book is not like so low standards ok...the words in it is so amazing! wow!
the way she describes everything is so amazing...how i wonder that someone like her can write and describe well but someone who can see and hear but couldn't write even simple english stories..like me.. :)
She told in her book..the way she sat for her college exam where someone has to read it for her and then she need to read it again (using the braille) to double check.AND she passed!
ANother thing that amazes me is that the only way for her to communicate is through lip reading..(i donno how she does this) and also by spelling it on her palm. Imagine going to class and someone have to spell it out for you in your palm!
she is really someone who inspires me and well...she never gives up! if its me..i would have given up years and years before!hhahaha
"For after all, every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone,and since there is no royal road to the summit,I must zigzag it in my own way.I slip back many times ,I fall,I stand still,I run against the edge of hidden obstacles,I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better.I trudge on,I gain a littlee,I feel encouraged,I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon.Every struggle is a victory.One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud,the blue depts of the sky,the uplands of my desire."
