Ordinary Genius 

(The Story of Albert Einstein)

Written by: Stephanie Sammartino McPherson

The book that I am currently reading about is the life of Albert Einstein. In the book you get to learn about all their  different events that Albert went through during is lifetime. In the book it talks about when Albert was just a little boy who was curious about the world around him. He wasn't like other children, and  because of that it made him different than the other kids. We all know that Albert Einstein is known for being this genius that he was the one known for his theory of relativity but in this book it explains about Alberts whole life in one story so I give you The story of Albert Einstein.

When Albert was just a little baby his mother Pauline Einstein saw something strange about Albert if it was like Albert's head was not shape correctly it was like his skull didn't shape out in the correct form, but through times when he got older the shape of his head started forming into a normal skull. During in Albert's school years you would think since he was so smart he didn't have a hard job participating in school. Well you think wrong Albert Einstein had lots of trouble at school he wasn't really good with Language Arts or Social studies things that Albert was only good at was Math and Science those were his two favorite subjects but his other subjects he did not like at all. If Albert didn't like something he didn't want to learn about it he would usually ignore the teacher and daydream. Since Albert didn't have much of a choice to participate since back then the teachers used to hit the children with rulers if you didn't do something right or if you do something you weren't supposed to do the teacher will give a bad punishment. Albert used to get bullied a lot by students because he thinked different from the other children he was curious even the teachers new he wasn't like other children that's what made him special. In is school years he didn't have a lot of friends the only person he would hang out with was his sister Maja she was born two years later. Albert did have his ups and downs but he would still keep moving forward. He had trouble finding jobs he had trouble finding money things weren't so easy for Albert but soon or later Albert has gotten old and he has discovered new things ahead of him he said to a student a quote from him from the book says "Never lose your curiosity, he urged the student" that was very touching when those were Albert last moments he died April 18, 1955 he will always be rembered.

One thing that I learned about the book of The Story of Albert Einstein was that he was a very shy person when he was young he didn't really interact with other people that much. Albert Einstein had a  passion for learning about math and science he traveled a lot around with his family Albert always went to different schools and then at his school that he was at, he made a friend that had the same passion like him. His friend would always bring notebooks with him and show Albert about so many different things about math that they never new about and every time Albert discovered more he wanted to learn more and more. Then eventually Albert got older and he couldn't do so many things how he used to but his legacy stills keeps moving on by the imagination of children who still have yet to know a lot about the world.
