Martin had lots of sisters and brothers, but he was only close to one. Martin Luther attended the Latin school, in Magdeburg. He studied grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Luther developed an early interest in monastic life. Luther became career driven at a young age. When he was just 8 years old, he wanted to become a lawyer. In the year 1501, he applied and was accepted into the University of Erfurt. It was there that he earned his master’s degree in Art, while studying arithmetic, astronomy, geometry, and philosophy.
