Introduction
Most everybody knows who Einstein is and
most people know his theories. I am not going to tell
you all about something you already know, I am
going to take you on a journey through Einstein’s
life. Einstein did not quite have his life in order when
he was younger, in fact he made many mistakes. He
wasn’t much different from any of us when he was
younger, he certainly grew to be different though.
