Nope, I am not going to try out for the track team," Mayza told her friend. "Oh, why not? I am so sad, Mayza," Janie whined. "I thought we could be in this together. Please try out!"

"I just don't have the time." Mayza responded sadly. "I am trying to keep my grades up. I need scholarships for college."

Mayza looked up to see the track coach standing over her.

"Mayza," she said, "I saw you at the practice run yesterday, and I was very impressed with your ability. I am hoping to see you at try-outs this afternoon. You know, there are scholarships available for winning students this year."

Mayza looked up at her. "Coach," she said, I'll be there."

"I am trying to keep my grades up."
"You know, there are scholarships available for winning students this year."
"I saw you at the practice run yesterday and I was very impressed with your ability."

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
