The path to get admission in Radcliffe College was marked with unimaginable difficulties. But it was the desire Helen harboured and her determination to be successful, despite the odds that helped her to overcome all the obstacles. She faced unexpected difficulties, from not having books embossed in time to begin her classes, lack of apparatus for some of her studies, to the problems related to special instructions in the classroom. Many a time even Miss Sullivan fell short of helping her with all the resources required for her preparation. At times this made Helen lose her courage but she did not lose her determination and each time moved on ahead with renewed confidence. Her faith and spirit combined with her determination helped Helen to get admission to Radcliffe College.
