Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in the city of Ulm,
Wurttemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879. Although, his
parents, Harmann and Paulina Koch Einstein raised him in
Munich where the family owned a small shop that manufactured
electric machinery. But multiple business failures forced his
family to move to Milan, Italy. Albert Einstein did not talk
until he was three years old. But at the age of 12 he had
already taught himself Euclidean geometry. And at only 15
years of age Albert dropped out of school. Albert liked
classical music and one of his favorite hobbies is playing the
Violin.
Like most teenage kids, Einstein disliked school because
he thought is was boring and unimaginative. Then he dropped
out of school not much later. After he dropped out of school
he stayed one year with his parents in Italy but then
continued and finished secondary school in Switzerland.

Einstein ditched his classes, he passed his tests by studying
his classmates notes. Then he eventually graduated in the year
1900. His teachers did not like him very much because of his
ditching habits and would not recommend him for any
universities. For two years Einstein worked as a tutor and
substitute teacher. And later worked seven years from 1902 to
1909 at the Swiss Patent Office, located in Bern, as an
examiner. This job gave him lots of free time and he used
that time to performing experiments.
