the miracle worker

(satu malam..2 tahun lalu)
disaat hati penuh gundah dan walang
serabut dengan tugasan & tanggungjawab seorang pelajar
(tapi masih tak sedar diri)
kaki tiba2 melangkah ke bilik sahabat
mahu luahkan perasaan
tapi..hajat dihati bertukar pula
terus selongkar koleksi cd nya
wah...banyak sungguh filem yg belum ditonton...
mesti pinjam ni..
konon mahu redakan perasaan..

mata tertarik pada satu filem
tajuknya the miracle worker
bunyi seperti cerita2 adi pahlawan @ superhero
tak mengapalah..
tonton dulu baru komen..

cerita zaman dahulu
sebelum perang meletus
cerita tentang budak perempuan
yang tidak sempurna lahirnya
buta, pekak dan bisu
ini kisah benar
dari insan yg benar2 wujud
ini cerita tentang seorang GURU
guru yang murni jiwanya
guru yang berjaya mendidik
seorang murid yg sukar dididik

saya sangat tersentuh
melihat ketabahan si guru
kala si ibu dan bapa berputus asa
si guru percaya
si anak bisa diajar
agar jadi insan berguna..

saya mahu jadi guru sepertinya....
tapi bisakah...?

petikan dari kisah hidup hellen keller :(http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/publicwebsite/public_keller.hcsp)

In February 1882, when Helen was nineteen months old, she fell ill. To this day the nature of her ailment remains a mystery. The doctors of the time called it “brain fever”, whilst modern day doctors think it may have been scarlet fever or meningitis.
Whatever the illness, Helen was, for many days, expected to die. When, eventually, the fever subsided, Helen’s family rejoiced believing their daughter to be well again.

However, Helen’s mother soon noticed how her daughter was failing to respond when the dinner bell was rang or when she passed her hand in front of her daughter’s eyes.
It thus became apparent that Helen’s illness had left her both blind and deaf.

On 3 March 1887 Anne arrived at the house in Tuscumbia and for the first time met Helen Keller. Anne immediately started teaching Helen to finger spell. Spelling out the word “Doll” to signify a present she had brought with her for Helen. The next word she taught Helen was “Cake”. Although Helen could repeat these finger movements she could not quite understand what they meant. And while Anne was struggling trying to help her understand, she was also struggling to try and control Helen’s continuing bad behaviour.

Anne and Helen moved into a small cottage on the land of the main house to try and get Helen to improve her behaviour. Of particular concern were Helen’s table manners. She had taken to eating with her hands and from the plates of everyone at the table.

Anne’s attempts to improve Helen’s table manners and make her brush her own hair and button her shoes led to more and more temper tantrums. Anne punished these tantrums by refusing to “talk” with Helen by spelling words on her hands.
Over the coming weeks, however, Helen’s behaviour did begin to improve as a bond grew between the two. Then, after a month of Anne’s teaching, what the people of the time called a “miracle” occurred.

Helen had until now not yet fully understood the meaning of words. When Anne led her to the water pump on 5 April 1887, all that was about to change.
As Anne pumped the water over Helen’s hand , Anne spelled out the word water in the girl’s free hand. Something about this explained the meaning of words within Helen, and Anne could immediately see in her face that she finally understood.
Helen later recounted the incident:
“We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honey-suckle with which it was covered. Someone was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten, a thrill of returning thought, and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me.”

Helen immediately asked Anne for the name of the pump to be spelt on her hand and then the name of the trellis. All the way back to the house Helen learned the name of everything she touched and also asked for Anne’s name. Anne spelled the name “Teacher” on Helen’s hand. Within the next few hours Helen learnt the spelling of thirty new words.

Helen’s progress from then on was astonishing. Her ability to learn was far in advance of anything that anybody had seen before in someone without sight or hearing. It wasn’t long before Anne was teaching Helen to read, firstly with raised letters and later with braille, and to write with both ordinary and braille typewriters.

W.A.T.E.R....SHE KNOWS IT!!!...:)
