Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists ever, is my hero. Just like many other heroes he started out without much and worked hard to do something good.

Albert was born in Ulm, Germany March 14, 1879. His parents were named Pauline Einstein and Eduard Einstein. The next year his family moved to Munich where Albert's uncle and father started a company that made electrical equipment, but just 14 years later, the company failed. Albert graduated high school in 1896 and graduated the university of Zurich in 1905. He was married twice, once to Mileva Maric (1903-1919) and again to Elsa Lowenthal (1919-1939). He had three kids Lieserl (who died early), Hans Albert Einstein, and Eduard Einstein. Albert was visiting the U.S in 1933, which happened to be when Adolf Hitler came to power. Because he was Jewish, Albert stayed in America and away from Hitler. Albert died April 18 1955, but we still will remember him for everything he has done.

Einstein has greatly influenced our world today. Without him, we might not have television, DVD-players, or even automatic doors! Einstein won the Nobel prize for physics in 1921. Many of his ideas influence our planet today including E=mc², wormholes, Zero point energy, and quantum theory. He was a theoretical physicist and philosopher of science. You may not know, but he has influenced the world enormously!

Everyone has a hero and Albert Einstein is hero. he advance the world tremendously and inspired many people. That's why Einstein is my hero.
