Gregor Mendel was a very determined, well-knowledgeable man, who grew up to do many great things. Mendel had an extraordinary life filled with amazing discoveries and achievements, but just like many other people he had his ups and downs in life. Gregor Mendel was faced with many things that could've brought him down and not let him exceed in life, but he did not let that get in the way of his future.
Gregor Mendel was born July 20, 1822 in a small village in Austria. He was born into an German family in Heinzendorf bei Odrau, an Austrian Empire, and was baptized two days latter.

After his graduation, Mendel decided to go into a two-year program at Philosophical Institute of the University of Olomouc.While he was there he had studied mathematics, physics, and philosophy. Mendel again excelled academically,mainly in physics and math. Mendel had abandoned his studies more than once when he was there because of his depression, but he did graduate from that program in 1843. When Mendel was 21 one of his professors said he should be a monk because the passion he had towards science. That same year his father wanted him to take over the family farm, but Mendel had other plans at that time. He was studying to become a monk. Gregor Mendel became a part of the Augustinian order at the St. Thomas Monastery in Bruno. In 1849 his work had exhausted him to the point of sickness. After that he was sent to try to get a temporary teaching job in Znaim. The following year he had failed his teaching exam which led to him losing his job as a teacher. In 1851, the monastery paid for him to go to the University of Vienna to continue his education in science. Mendel decided while he was there he was going to study mathematics and physics under Christian Doppler, and studied botany under Franz Unger. He completed his studies there in 1853. Mendel returned to the monastery in Brno for a teaching job he would have for more than a decade, but he still wanted to further his education
