Albert Einstein was born on March, 14th, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. His interest in science began when he was only five years old. But in school, he was not a very good student. Albert was dropped out of school at fifteen because he hated strict discipline and route- learning. When his family moved to Milan, Italy, Albert decided to study Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in Zurich, Switzerland. He failed the Institute’s entrance exam, but after a year’s study at a school near Zurich, he passed and entered in 1896. He graduated in 1900. Then he became a private Physics and Mathematics tutor for two years. In 1902, Albert Einstein took a job in the Swiss Parent Office in Bern. The work was not very demanding, so he had plenty of time to develop his theories that would later changed the science forever. In 1909, Albert Einstein left his job at the Parent Office and began his lifelong career in the academic world. His genius had begun to be recognized, and by 1914 he was at the top of his profession as a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1942, he was awarded the.
