Hello :D
Quick question, ''If you could meet four people in history and ask them one question; who would you pick and what would you ask?''
..........................................................................
Was asked that a while back and I gave my response in a blog post (16 years old gem), and there, I mentioned that one of the people I would like to meet is Helen Keller.
According to wikipedia 'Helen Adams Keller was
an American author, political activist, and lecturer.
She was the first deaf-blind person to earn
a bachelor of arts degree'.

despite their disabilities, make something out of

of sight and sound, (or if I was born without
certain physical abilities)....maybe I would whine
and disturb my dear mom and friends.....or I
would go the route of these great men and
women and write, sing (like Stevie Wonder or
Cobhams Asuquo) and have a positive outlook in
life and inspire people?
What will you do?
I really admire Helen Keller and hope that her
story spurs you to keep believing and keep having
faith and to be an inspiration.
Yup, she's much more than a symbol of courage....
If I were to meet Helen Keller, what will we talk
about?
Her fears, her motivations and her faith....(those
and more) :D
