[06:04.75]Annie considered this was just the kind of demanding job she wanted.
[06:10.70]That is how Annie came to be with us.
[06:15.28]Annie was among the first to realize that blind people
[06:20.32]never know their hidden strength until they are treated like normal human beings.
[06:27.40]She never pitied me;she never praised me
[06:33.04]unless what I did was as good as that of the best of a normal person.
[06:39.70]And she encouraged me when I made up my mind to go to college.
[06:44.98]During my years in school,Annie sat beside me in every class.
[06:51.04]She spelled out for me the things that the teacher taught.
[06:56.21]And,because most books were not printed in Braille,
[07:01.54]she herself read them to me by spelling into my hand what was written in the books.
[07:08.49]It took great imagination as well as patience for Annie to teach me to speak.
[07:15.15]Putting both my hands on her face when she spoke,
[07:19.90]she let me feel all the movenents of her lips and throat.
[07:25.26]Together we repeated and repeated words and sentences.
[07:31.50]My speech was illformed and not pleasant to hear.
[07:36.86]But I was delighted to be able to say words that my family
[07:42.63]and a few friends could understand.
[07:46.99]To Annie I owe thanks for this priceless gift of speech.
[07:52.95]It has helped me to serve others.
[07:56.79]My teacher's gifted instruction lived on after her death.
[08:02.25]She had believed in me.I must always keep on trying to do my best.
[08:08.72]"No matter what happens,"she often said,"keep on beginning.
[08:15.18]Each time you fail,start all over again.
[08:20.43]You will grow stronger each time,
[08:25.50]until you can do and finidh what you started out to do.
[08:31.66]Who could count the times Annie tried,failed,and then succeeded?
[08:38.61]What a great teacher!What a great person!
