Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. His family later moved to Munich and then Italy. Einstein continued his education in Switerland and obtain his doctor degree in 1905. In 1903, he married Mileva Maric and had two sons and a daughter. They divorced in 1919, and Einstein remarried to his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal. Einstein died in 1955 and was buried in Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein contribution to physics has been enormous and helpful to the world, especially during WWII.
During his childhood, Einstein had suffered what is called a learning disability. He could not speak until the age of three and even as an adult, he had trouble finding the right words to say. During school, he had trouble in many subjects, especially reading and math. Most teachers considered him as a hopless child with no success for the future. However, it was later realized that Einstein is more of a visual learner than a language comprehender. Because of this ability, he was able to comprehend modern physics with relative ease.
In a way, this disorder was the reason why Einstein was looked down upon during his childhood. Yet, despite what other people think, he managed to rise above and became one of the most famous scientists in history. I find it amazing that Einstien, despite all odds against him when he was young, managed to overcome his learning disability. People with this disability have a harder time to succeed in life. I wish that we can help these people more because it is proven that they can do great things.

I like how you inform us about Einstein's background information. However, I think you should tell us more about how the disorder affect Einstein. Overall, I think you did a good job on blogging about Einstein.
I give you 97 out of 100.
You gave good information about Einstein and how he coped with his disease. You could put a little more information about how the disease affected him later in life. 95/100
This is interesting because I never knew that Einstein would have learning disabilities as a child like that, since he's like a genius.
This is a really good post about him, but it would be even better if you talked more about how he overcame this disorder (:
I give you a 96!
The background information was interesting. I like how you talked about how it effected him, and how he over came it. And wow, Einstein wasn't good in math?? That's crazy.
You did a really good job with Einstein's background info. Who would think a genious like Albert Einstein could suffer from a learning disability? I think this shows how people with disabilities can overcome it.
Nice blog about Einstein and his learning disability. It's strange how somebody so smart could have a learning disability though. Good blog!
its so surprising how tons of famous people have disorders! it makes you think about how difficult their lives must be, even with the fame and fortune.
great post =)
Good job on einstein. I liked how you gave a detailed background
I liked the info about Einstein's background. Isn't it amazing how someone so gifted struggled at a young age?
"Many organizations that promote the interests of individuals with learning disabilities claim that Einstein had a learning disability, and this claim has become widely accepted. A review of biographical sources, however, provides little or no evidence to support this assertion. The claim derives its force not from facts but from a powerful belief-that the greatest among us suffer from some impairment-and from an equally powerful desire to enhance the status of a marginalized group by including within it exceptional individuals."
