" Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." - Helen Keller We all suffer but some of us go through more trials than others.  I believe to be the best you can be - you have to fight against those struggles.  If Helen Keller who was struck blind and deaf at age two graduated from college in 1904, can we afford to let our challenges hinder us to the point we give up?! I think not. If we are overcomers - and most of us are - then we will succeed no matter what our circumstances. It may take some of us longer but we will get there. I read that it took 25 years for Helen to learn to speak so others could understand her.  Helen advocated for the welfare of blind people, and in 1915 she partnered with George Kessler and co-founded Helen Keller International.  Did you know she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union or that she wrote a book?  Take that first step today. If you could do any thing, what would you aspire to do?  Start today. Yo
