The story based on Anne Sullivan definitely impacts my life because taught me that with tolerance, patient, love, and a mixture of some values she made a big impact on education too. In my personal opinion she was a greatest teacher around the world. She fought against all bad expectations about Helen Keller, she never said “I can´t” or “it’s impossible”…
I tried to learn about her story life because she made important contributions on education terms. And, Anne with her special spirit of teaching help Helen Keller goes on. Sometimes teachers forget the real purpose of their jobs and it happens because of the routine in their activities. Also teachers think that people with special needs can’t learn and that’s not true, people with a handicap usually develop the other senses more than others. Anne Sullivan spent the whole life teaching regardless bad conditions she happened and I compare that with the present time because nowadays in Costa Rica professors experience difficulties in terms of regulations, respect from their students, authority and others, that’s why teachers lose the vision of their profession. But, if teaching is the real passion teachers have to fight against those things that could prevent what we as teachers want to do.
Anne Sullivan’s biography makes me think about my position as a teacher and what I should do to achieve my goals in terms of teaching. Also, I take her as role model and take all positive aspects about her methodology in my classes… maybe when I star to lose my patient with the students I will think in her job.
