One person that has inspired me is Albert Einstein. He is inspiring because he was one of the greatest scientists ever. When he was in school, all his teachers said he was slow to learn, and “dim”. Einstein didn’t like to learn about language and other popular teachings back then. All he liked was math. He soon became fascinated by math, and he wanted to become a math teacher. Despite his love of math, his school asked him to leave because he was a bad role model to other students. Einstein was able to overcome this, and he soon became one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.
I admire many character traits about him. First, I admire his willingness not to give up. He kept studying math and science even though many people thought he shouldn’t. Second, is that he didn’t let all the people telling him he was dim and slow get to him. He just kept going on what he knew was the right thing, and didn’t let people tell him otherwise. I also admire all the things he said to encourage other people such as, “Only a life lived for others is worth living,” and “Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” Another character trait I like about him is his sense of humor, such as in these things he said about life: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe,” and “If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
Albert Einstein did a lot for the world: inspiring, teaching, and changing it. He was able to overcome all hardship and failure, and became one of the greatest scientists of all time. Albert Einstein inspired me, and I hope he does the same for you.

The thing I liked about this was when you were able to work the quotes in. I thought that was cool. The question that I have is why you broke the paragraphs where you did. It seems sort of jumbled. If this were my paper I would have made some of the adjective paragraphs longer. Like the the willingness one is only two lines long.
ReplyDeleteThis was well written, and a good person i think. I like how you added in quotes, but maybe a little more space between each one would break the paper up a little bit. It was entertaining, and nicely done. A few more opinions might have helped, instead of a lot o fquotes though.

I have to agree with katie and matt on this one. I really enjoyed reading all of the quotes and stuff. It was sort of weird how you organized it, but I still think it was good. If this were my paper I wouldn't change anything, except the formation.
ReplyDeleteI liked all the quotes and the person that you picked, but i thought that they kind of overpowered the whole essay. I don't know what i would do if it were mine, it was good.
ReplyDeleteNice job I really liked it. Why did you pick him and not someone in your family, not that I think it's a bad choice he is a cool pperson. If this was my paper I would change the length it some what bothers me that it had so much in that little eassy
