Albert Einstein :who?
The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. I didn’t said this statement. This was said by the one Who proudly declared himself as a “lone wolf”.He’s the fuzzy haired guy in 1925! He’s the genius who unlocked the secrets of the universe! He’s also a great peacemaker! Good morning respected sir and fellow students, I’m going to talk about the amazing Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1869. He is known as one of the greatest scientists who has ever lived. BUT, he never spoke a word, even when he was three! His parents even thought that there was something wrong with him. He didn’t play soldier or rough and tumble games like the other kids, he just liked to build card towers and daydream!

Can you believe that Einstein failed high school? When he first entered high school in Germany, he didn’t like it a bit! The teachers were too strict. You weren’t allowed to ask questions. You weren’t even allowed to smile! This wasn’t his style. His teachers thought that he was a lazy dog. Albert tried his best to get used to the school but… it didn’t always work. Finally, he was expelled from the German school. The headmaster sternly told Hermann Einstein,albert’s father, that his son would never amount to anything. As it turns out, the headmaster was almost right

A few years later, Albert tried high school again but this time in Switzerland. To his surprise, the school wasn’t anything like the school in Germany. It was almost the complete opposite compared to the other school. Graduation was a breeze and Albert was allowed to go to college.

One problem appeared after he graduated from college, he couldn’t find a job. He wanted to get a teaching job but after Albert’s lousy attitude toward the teachers, he was rejected. Luckily, his friend got him a job in the Swiss Patent Office.

So, how did Albert become who he is now? When he was five and sick in bed, his father

    His time at the Luitpold Gymnasium through grade school, mostly consisted of reading, math, science, and philosophy on his own time (“Einstein, Albert” 2). This kind of initiative to learn such task seeking subjects on his own did not make Einstein stand out among his peers. His lackadaisical voice and poor grades made him out to be nothing but an average student. Einstein’s intelligence did not appear until his father showed him a compass. At this moment he knew there was things needed to be solved in the universe. Einstein said, “A wonder of… nature I experienced as a child of four or five years, when my father showed me a compass. That this needle behaved in such a determined way did not fit into the nature of events which could find a place in the unconscious world of concepts.” (qtd. in “Einstein, Albert” 2-3). Something inside Einstein sparked, the simplicity of how the needle connected itself with the world’s magnetic field intrigued him and inspired him to solve the world’s mysteries. Although his curiosity flourished, it never trumped the fact he despised the rote…

    Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist born in Germany in 1879. He developed many scientific breakthroughs, which impacted the world as it is today. His mass-energy equivalence formula was crowned the most famous equation. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. The name Einstein has become practically synonymous with the word genius. Einstein once said, “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has it’s limits.”. Einstein was a creative man, this led him to be such an innovative scientist. In 1955, Einstein died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A study of Albert Einstein shows that he was a very controversial man, due to his involvement in the creation of the atomic bomb, the possibility that he was autistic, and his scandalous personal life.…

    Young Albert tried to imagine the mysterious force that caused the compass needle to move, and the experience awakened a sense of wonder that stayed with him for life. Understanding the universe became an "eternal riddle" for Einstein, a quest for scientific enlightenment. "The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise," he wrote, "but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having chosen it."- www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/life/ Albert Einstein was a poor student and although he did not earn top grades in every subject, he excelled at math and science. "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle," he wrote, "that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Schilpp, 1970. p. 17. Being fiercely independent, even as a young boy, Albert had already developed a deep distrust of authority. He challenged not only his teachers but also long-standing mathematical and scientific "givens," such as ancient Greek rules of geometry and laws of physics established by other scientists. Ironically, Einstein's questioning and resulting breakthroughs eventually turned him into an authority…

    I was a part of something bigger than myself; going to the state tournament was the only thing that mattered. I noticed in the last month of school that my grades had slipped from A’s and B’s to B’s and C’s. I began to notice all of the homework that I was missing in my Algebra II class. I can now see in hindsight that I had been enveloped in the culture of the modern American high school that Botstein described. If I was a part of a larger public school, I would have probably have fallen through the cracks and failed. I was lucky, but many other students don’t enjoy the same advantages that I do at Holy Trinity…
