Einstein's Early Life.
Albert Einstein was a great contributor to science, as we know it today. Without him, the world may have not been the same. Many people did not like Einstein because of the way he looked or acted. They thought of him as a freak, but their comments never seemed to affect Einstein's work.
In his life, he didn't start out famous or rich. He was just a common everyday guy. He was born on March 14,1879 in the city of Ulm, Germany. Shortly after, he moved to Munch, where his father ran a factory that manufactured electrical supplies (Freeman 104).

The strict school rules made him even unhappier. Even thought he was unhappy, he was good at math, and english (Freeman 104).
