Summary

As a child, Einstein was never completely understood. He was a baby with a fat head. He was an angry infant. He was a boy who never did what his teachers ask of him. He did well in school subjects that he liked and completely disregarded the ones that did not hold his interest. He had a great love for music and would practice his violin endlessly. Einstein was a high school drop out and therefore, even with his mathematical genius, could not get accepted to university. He actually went back to school to earn his high school diploma so that he could attend college. After college, he wanted to find a job teaching in university, but there was no one who would hire him. Instead, he got a job at a government patent office, married, and started a family. This did not stop him from wondering about space, light, and time. Though Einstein was a miss understood child, he grew up to be one of the world's greatest thinkers.
