A Reading reporting onThe Story of My Life
The story of Helen Keller’s life is widely known by people around the world.Thousands of readers are impressed by Helen’s fortitude and strong will, which also inspired me deeply. However, what impressed me most in her autobiography was her teacher,Anne Sullivan’s love. Had it not been for Sullivan,who looked after and teach the little Helen patiently and selflessly, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.
Actually,Sullivan suffered the same difficulty as Helen at her young age.She was almost sightless herself due to a childhood fever and was, at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane”by the caregivers. She was locked in the basement because of her crazy temper and attack of others.Most of the time,little Anne would ignore everyone in her presence.It seemed that the naughty girl was incurable.However,an elderly nurse believed there was hope,she made it her mission to show love to the child.Everyday she visited little Anne,the child didn’t acknowledge the nurse’s presence for the most part.But she still continued to visit.The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke word of love and encouragement.Eventually,doctors noticed a change in the girl.Anna Sullivan gradually grew into a young lady with a desire to help others as the kind nurse does.
It’s acknowledged that Sullivan worked wonders in Helen’s life,but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anna and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a warmhearted teacher.From this impressive story we can see the power of the chain of love.We may ignore that many people around us give us quantity of love without asking for return.As a matter of fact,only if we give love and concern to others,the chain of love will spread widely in our society.Whether we can see the result or not,our influence on others may be very huge, which is beyond our imagine. The relay of love must be the most precious and impressive thing in the beautiful planet,which give bright hope and the wheels of progress to those who get lost in their life.
