Albert Einstein

by Alua

What is a hero, you ask ? A hero is not always about having superpowers or masks. Many of them are just normal humans. They can help the world. They all are different but they are all as smart as a genius and as brave as a lion. They all have faced challenges in their life and overcame them like Martin Luther King Jr. He wanted black people to have their rights. Now, because of him in the USA people don't look at the skin color a person has. Now my dad can come to USA and look around. [ Thank you Martin Luther King Jr.] Heroes can also help nature like Jane Goodall. She wanted to help chimpanzees. Now we have many chimpanzees in the world. Now you know that you can be a hero if you change something for the good, like helping your mom or dad. You can always be a hero for someone!

Albert Einstein was a scientist and inventor from Germany. First of all he didn't want World War II to start. He didn't believe in war because he didn't want people to be hurt/killed. But the most important thing is that he wrote about gravity and this changed the way people thought about time, space and gravity. He even said that nothing could move faster than the speed of light. Now people think about the real idea of universe movements. We remember Einstein as a smart and brainy scientist. As you can see he is a cool hero!

Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, Germany. When he was a kid he was shy and curious. He was so shy that he didn't talk until he was 3 years old. In 1902, he began working in the patent office. It helped him to invent cool stuff. In 1905 he wrote about the speed of light. The idea changed the way people thought about movement in the universe. In 1916 He wrote about space, gravity, and time. When people and scientists read what he wrote they changed their mind about science. Then, in 1921, Einstein was given a special award - the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1933 Albert had to move to Princeton, New Jersey because he was a Jewish person in Nazi Germany. In 1955 Albert died. He is one of the most famous scientists.

If you want to be a smart scientist like Albert Einstein, you should work hard and be brave.Thank you, Albert, for changing how we understand science. This is why he is a hero for everyone.
