Einstein Blog post #10

For my third and final book I decided to read a bibliography on Albert Einstein. So far, I have read that he was born in Germany and as a child, he was always very quiet and he never talked. His parents were very worried because they thought that he had developmental issues, which back then was a big deal. The doctors kept telling Albert's parents that he probably had some type of mental illness like down syndrome or another type of mental disease, it was Albert's father that knew it wasn't a mental disease. He enrolled Albert in some private classes since he wasn't allowed to go to school if he couldn't talk, what happened during the classes was breathtaking.

Albert showed immense progress in all of the school subjects that the private tutor showed him, even though he hadn't seen those things in his life. Even though he was an extraordinary student and extremely gifted in everything, he had a tendency to be very impatient and was known for his temper, at the age of six, he threw a vase at his music teacher, she never came back. Albert's parents tried to show him manners and the proper way to do things, but common sense wasn't in the boy's vast knowledge, which became a problem later on in life and was then corrected when he met his wife.

Then came Albert's sister, at first, Albert though that it was just another toy for him to play with and was disappointed when he looked into the cradle and saw no wheels, just two baby blue eyes staring back at him. Yet, Albert grew to love his little sister, he played with her and tried to show her some of the things that he was learning, which at the time was four grade levels above him. Albert didn't care that his sister wasn't as smart as him, he loved her either way.
