Albert Einstein by Andres P.

Have you ever met anyone who faced adversity? Everyone has or will face it at some point. Whatever you do to overcome adversity will help you or will bring you down throughout your life. But, the best thing to do is to be brave and never give up. One person that faced adversity was Albert Einstein. He started facing adversity at a very young age, and he used his failures to have a successful life. 

To begin with, Albert Einstein’s early years were very advanced compared to other kids for his time. As per notablebiographies.com, it says that “Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in ULM, Germany…he grew up and obtained early education in Munich, Germany.” Obtaining an early education back then was very hard; he was very smart to have made it when not many could. Also, “he was a poor student and some teachers thought he was mentally handicapped and he was unable to speak clearly at age 9”. Most people by age 9 already know how to speak fluently and have conversations with others without a problem, and it was tough for Einstein,” yet he managed to discover one thing that is now know in math as geometry.” This helped him shine and be seen for something positive in the world. Even though he managed to do this, he still had early struggles in his life. 

Next, Albert Einstein started having trouble early in his life. According to Linkedin.com, the writer of this source says that, “as a student Albert did not show remarkable results. Most of his grades were passing and he was near the top of his class, but mainly because of math and science.” These were pretty hard subjects back then due to them still trying to discover new things to make what we have today with all the inventions they did. “He wanted to continue his life as strong as a professor’s assistant but none of the professors would accept him for his rebellious behavior.” This was very hard for him because he was just starting his life as a grown up and he wasn’t getting any good jobs for his behavior. It also says that “Albert later in life was restricted to get married for the next 2 years but he married Elsa Löwenthal just 3 ½ months later. By this time Albert had earned the reputation of an eccentric non-traditional educator, and his teaching career was declined.” This was even tougher for him because this was his second time getting his job declined. Even though he had many failures, he didn’t give up and had a lot of successful times. 

Lastly, Albert Einstein had failures just like we all have and also had successful moments just like we all have or will at some point. As per LinkedIn.com it says that “The year of 1905 was called the miracle year. The reason for this was that he wrote 4 papers printed in a scientific journal…that contributed significantly to the groundwork of modern physics and completely changed the view on space time, mass, and energy.” This was one of the successful moments he had after he had many failures as a young boy and as a grown up. Albert Einstein got the job as a professor in GCFU and also became an Austrian citizen. This gave him what he was working for his whole life to try to be a professor; all his struggles when he was young was worth it and he knew that’s why he never gave up. And finally it says that in, “1940 Einstein became the official citizen of the USA and he became one of the founders and board governors of Hebrew University of Jerusalem established on July 24,1918.” All of this success then brought him to all of us remembering him . He surpassed adversity by not letting his struggles bring him down through his life. 

To end this, Albert Einstein faced adversity. He started struggling early in life not being able to do numerous things. These things include his job failures and his family struggles. And after all the hard work and failures, he finally had his time and was able to overcome everything and realized all the hard work and not giving up was worth it. He was remembered for all the success he had.
