Albert Einstein

This week I am writing on Albert Einstein by Freda Wishinsky . Albert was one the worlds greatest scientists and one of the things that led to his success was the fact that he didn't let feeling stupid stop him. What I mean by this is even though he grew failing classes and hearing harsh comments like "Albert will never achieve his goals" he still powered through and didn't let that bother him.  One time Albert applied to a prestigious university but was turned down because he only knew two subjects. Math and physics. But once again he persevered by going back to school learning more on other subjects and when he applied a second time he was accepted. I admire the fact that even though Albert was somewhat of a celebrity he still kept his laid back humorous attitude. Albert presented many amazing theories that effected the world for the better. Albert was always a strong Jew which made things difficult for him living in Europe during World War 2.  All in all Albert was kind and patient during adulthood at least. As a child he used to give huge tantrums and during one of these he hit his sister with a garden hoe. This is a good book and I recommend you read it.
