Several intelligent individuals and free thinkers have occupied the world. Who, at first glance, may appear completely incompetent and distorted as contributing members of our society. For Albert Einstein, it seemed to be no exception. Growing up with a speech disability, "Einstein was initially thought to be naive and would consequently not achieve much in his life." To the contrary, Einstein manipulated nearly every thought and question that existed in his time and ours. While many mathematicians, scientists and/or philosophers have been unable to answer unimaginable questions and theories that would improve the world we live in. This was no surprise to anyone. Einstein managed with little effort to organize and formulate the most complex equations and projects, shedding light on problems previously thought impossible. Einstein's education, life experiences, and "capacity for free thought" contributed to his success and ability in his life. Albert Einstein, to this day, is still one of the most accomplished and respected mathematicians/inventors in the world. Einstein's journey was full of challenges, discoveries, and many achievements. On March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein was born in Württemberg, Germany, to Jewish parents Hermann and Pauline Einstein. Shortly after Albert's birth, his father and mother eagerly gathered their belongings and their new baby and moved to the Kingdom of Munich, now Germany. After his family moved to Munich, Einstein's parents gave birth to a little girl in November 1881, with such a delicate and sweet face. They named her Maria, who would soon become Albert's new little and angelic best friend. Growing up, Albert didn't have a... medium of paper... the world we live in; his accomplishments include his education, life experiences, and free-thinking abilities.
