Alexander was an intelligent man,he invented the telephone so that must take alot of brains.He was very family orientated also.Graham Bell was confident of his inventions,and determined which means that he probably made alot of mistakes but didn't give up. Alexander was home schooled by his mother until he was old enough to attend to Edinburgh High School.Bell enjoyed lying on top of his favorite hill in Edinburgh,so that he could be as close to the sky as possible and wonder about different things that were happening.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.The telephone is probably one of the must used creations ever.It is a very popular invention.Alexander was motivated by his father in law to "undertake every new thing that interests you and accomplish nothing of value to any one."
