The Story of My Life
Describe the progress made by Helen Keller during the two years she spent at Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York city.
At the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York City, Helen's progress in lip-reading and speech were far below her own expectations and that of her teachers. Helen aimed to speak like other people and her teachers also believed that she could accomplish the task but she did not quite reach her goal. She worked hard with sincerity but Helen conjectured that she probably aimed too high and therefore, disappointment was inevitable. She still regarded arithmetic as a system of pitfalls and indulged in guesswork. When she was not guessing answers, she would jump to conclusions and this process aggravated her difficulties more than their fair share. Though these disappointments plagued her, she pursued her other studies with unflagging interest and began to enjoy studying physical geography. It brought her so much delight that it led her to consider those two years spent in New York to be one of genuine pleasures.
