The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came
to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the
immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it
connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months
before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the
porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my
mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the
house that something unusual was about to happen, so I
went to the door and waited on the steps. I did not know
what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
