Annie Sullivan
By Sage Mcginleysmith
Who was Anie Sullivan ?
You probably don't know who I am talking about because she is not well known. Personally, I think that she deserves more credit than she is given because she was HELEN KELLER'S TEACHER and if you know anything about Helen Keller you would know she was very hard to teach.
