by Chandni from Atglen

Einstein

My hero is Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein lived from March, 14, 1879 to April, 18, 1955. He lived as a boy and was born in Ulm, Germany and Munich. Albert was a German physician who developed the special theories of relativity. He became an American citizen in 1940.

Major accomplishments

Albert won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for physics by his explanation of photoelectric effect. He also accepted the chair of theatrical physics in 1912 at the federal institute of technology. Einstein is also known for the development of the quantum theory. The Nazi government confiscated his property because he was Jewish. Then he was deprived of his German citizenship.

Why he is a hero

Albert had dedication because when he did his experiments he normally finished and was very well known for them. Einstein also had the trait of perseverance, because when times were rough when the Nazis were around he still tried and did his experiments. Another trait he had was loyalty, because when the Nazis took away his property he still tried for his cause.

Why he is my hero Albert Einstein is my hero because he has all of these traits. He is also my hero because he was really smart to me, very willing and in some ways have the same traits and things that I have and like as well. That is why the famous scientist Albert Einstein is my hero.
