Inspired by a Genius

You don't have to be a genius to know who Albert Einstein was.  Although when Albert was a kid he did have trouble with speech.  He didn't really talk much at all in his childhood except for when he asked questions in school.  That inspires me because I want to ask lots of questions in school too, but I don't want to get in trouble for it because all he got as a reward for asking was a time out.

He got in trouble a lot because he was a curious boy, just like me, and he was always full of questions, again just like me!

Albert Einstein inspired tons of people, especially me because he was really smart and discovered new things like E-mc2.   He also has curly hair like me (except mine isn't white).

Nowadays, people call him the smartest person who ever lived!  But did he live up to that name?  Of course he did.  He found out things that nobody every even thought of!  Once again, like E=mc2.  And most people use about 30% of their brains.  But Albert used 80% of his brain.  And if you use 100% of your brain, you can read minds.  That's my goal, to use 100% of my brain.  All this explains why Albert Einstein is my inspiration.

Inspired by George

One day I want to school and my teacher said we would be doing research projects on history.  I was so exited that it inspired me to write about somebody.

The library was open so I begged and begged and begged till my mom said yes.  I was so happy I ran into the library.

I asked the librarian if she had any history books that I can read to write a history report on.  The librarian said, "Yes."  Then she took out a book that was small bur said "George Washington" on the front.  I was even more inspired to write about George Washington then.

My mom drove my brother and me home.  As soon as I got home I took out a pencil and started to write about George Washington.  I had written a whole page long about George.

I was so inspired that day that I love history and, for fun, I wrote about George and his wife Martha Washington.

The next day I brought the report into the classroom and my  teacher loved it.  Those two days were the best days ever.  I was a mean researching machine.

I have been inspired to research any type of history since it's my favorite subject.  It's fun to learn about the olden days and people who lived way back in the eighteenth century and how they lived and I would compare their lifestyle to our modern times today — big change!

I was able to read my story out loud to the class.  George Washington inspires me to this day.
