Thomas Edison

How am I inspired?

Even though he had dyslexia, he still had found an interest in reading and soon found to love science.

This relates a little to me. After reading a lot of books, I slowly developed an interest in reading and writing.

He persevered even when his teacher had called him a "bad" student and became a great inventor.

He never stopped trying to learn new things both when he was in school and when being home schooled.

When his mother pulled out of the school, he was able to learn more efficiently because of all the time he had.

This helped him to learn the basics academic and he was able to teach himself

What did I learn?

After contracting the scarlet fever and surviving through it, he had completely lost his hearing.

But even without his hearing he was still able to create his inventions and live a good life.

I learned that Thomas Edison was almost always sick when he was younger, so he didn't start school until the age of 10.

When he eventually went to school he was pulled out after a few months and was taught by his mother.

What do I admire?

Thomas Edison became a great inventor despite his disability of being both deaf and dyslexic.

Throughout his childhood, even when he was dyslexic, Thomas Edison still really loved to read.

Because of his mother's patience when teaching him, he was able to develop an interest in learning.

Even after failing multiple times at creating the light bulb, he still persevered through it and never gave up.

After failing, he didn't just give up and call it off. He said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
