Thomas Edison was always wanting to know "why". He had very little formal education. Thomas Edison was a pesevering person by overcomeing a rough childhood,being deaf,not having an education.

Rough Childhood Thomas had very little formal education,because his teachers thought his constant questions were a sign of stupidity.So,when he was seven,his mother,who had been a teacher,took him out of school and taught him at home.The docter feared that he might have "Brain trouble".His curosity was always getting him into trouble.Some of the neighbors thought he was a strange child with many questions he must be "addled".They also thought he was strange because,he had a big head for a small body.He overcame a rough childhood by still putting all his hard work into his inventions.

Being Deaf At age 12 he started losing his hearing,the likelyhood of this being a genetic condition that his father,and brother had. Thomas actually liked being deaf.He said that it made it easier for him to concentrate on expieriments.He loved to read and chemistry books were his favorite,but he did more than just read them.He tried many of the expieriments the books described to prove to himselfthat the facts in the books were really true.He overcame being deaf like said in the passage ,that he loved reading.It gave him inspiration to keep trying until his reading was a success.

Not Having an Education Thomas's teacher told his mother Thomas couldn't learn.Thomas was always asking "why" his teacher thought he was stupid.So,his mother took him out of the school thats why nearly all his chilhood learning took place at home. His mother was convinced her son's slightly unusual demeanor and physical apperance were merely outward sights of his remarkable intelligence.Even though he's not in school he overcame it by being intelligent.

Thomas Edison was one of the most talented inventors in history,he was the best inventor in his times.Although Edisons "inspiration"created many important inovations,perhaps more important were his many failures, which "perspiration" transformed into so many powerful successes.He is a persvering person
