Albert Einstein was born on 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Albert's Father, Herman Einstein, was a featherbed salesman, and his Mother was an ordinary housewife. Around this time Albert received his first compass. That was the beginning of his quest to investigate the natural world. By the age ten Albert had enrolled in a process of self-education by reading as much science as he could. When Albert was in high school he attempted to skip high school by taking an entrance exam, but he failed in the art portion, so his family sent him to the Swiss town of Aura to finish high school. Albert graduated from high school at the age 17 and enrolled at the ETH in Zurich. In 1896 Albert fell in love with Mileva Maric, a classmate at the ETH, and two years after Albert graduated. In 1903 Albert and Mileva got married, and had their first child, Hans in 1904.
