She overcame being deaf and blind. The whole story about her and Anne Sullivan and spelling out "W-A-T-E-R" in her hand is very famous. She's an inspiration to people; someone that says you can be whoever you want to be, even if you're disabled.

She was blind, deaf and dumb but learned how to communicate after pain staking arduous efforts. Most people would of given up. A lot of it was her teacher who refused to give up on her eventhough she was a wild child. She's an American hero. I think she had something to do with the creation of brail, but I'm not sure about that one.
