Beautiful Story of Helen Keller























It is very hard to even imagine somebody being blind AND deaf. I would only imagine it being in a complete darkness. I am sure as a kid Helen must have been in a complete darkness. No wonder she was frustrated. I would imagine her world completely differently as a young adult. I see her teacher Annie had opened the whole world for her by teaching her words and how to read. I see as a colorful beautiful world with an open path to travel.

"Critical thinking" to me means...

To me, "critical thinking" means being "hard working" intellectually. When people face different point of views, or problems, some just accept it without doing much thinking. That is being lazy to me. Critical thinkers, on the other hand, analyze the ideas, observe, do research on it, and try to look at it from different angles, try to put themselves in the shoes of both pro and con sides. They really work their brain to understand the real idea and facts. This is one of the qualities i admire in people, so I also try to be a critical thinker. I am working on it!!! :)
