Adversity is something that many of us face throughout our lives. Studying for a difficult test, preparing for a business presentation, operating on a patient, and overcoming personal challenges; we can all attest to facing ample levels of adversity. Many of us though, will never face the same levels of diversity that Helen Keller faced, and overcame, throughout her life.

Helen Keller is well-known as a figure of female empowerment, strength, and inspiration. She was an American author, political activist, and lecturer who became famous for overcoming the dual disabilities of deafness and blindness. As a young child, Helen Keller was extremely frustrated and isolated, yet through her hard work, and with the help of those around her, she overcame her disabilities, impacting the world in ways no one thought was possible.
