In The year 1912, on the 23rd of june,a child who was named Alan Mathison Turing was born to Julius Mathison and Ethel Sara Turing. His Father was involved in the Indian Civil service and served under the Madras Presidency, where he met and married Alan's mother, Ethel Sara Stoney. Alan was given birth to in a nursing home Paddington, London.
Alan Turing showed signs of high intelligence at a very young age. Most teachers knew this, but no one really respected this. Alan did not do very well during his early school years.
At age 13( 1922), Alan Turing attended a school known as Sherborne independent school, and he became interested in maths and science during his attendance of this school. Alan began schooling there when a general strike
Albert Einstein went through a lot of struggles and conflicts in life. He struggled in school. People made fun of him because he had a learning disability, Dyslexia. Dyslexia is when you have trouble reading, because letters look different than they actually are. He also failed his college entrance exam and he lost three teaching positions in two years. He became a famous scientist because he did not care what other people thought about him.
He was just 17 years old when he decided to become a working student in a vocational school for engineering
The first section deals with the obsessives, pioneers, and other varieties of minor genius including the famed kitchen gadgeteer Ron Popeil and the inventor of the Pill. The second section ranges over theories, predictions and diagnoses. In this parts covers about problem solving, and it provides several examples. And the last one focuses on how we make predictions about people and on intelligence and personality. In addition, it covers topics like whether all geniuses display their talents early.
This is what led him to be chosen for the experiment. As he gained intelligence, his motivation drove him to discover new research for why his mouse friend, Algernon, experienced decaying intelligence. Many people think intelligence is more important than motivation, but they have not considered the reasons why motivation is more important than being smart. Someone who is smart has the potential to do great things. However, if they lack motivation, those things will never get done.
Thomas Moore was a Renaissance man. He was born in London England on February 7, 1478. As a young man Thomas served as a page in the house of John Morton.

Stephen Hawking's birth on the 8th January 1942, came at a time when his parents did not have much money. As the situation was rather tense during this point in time, with the Germans bombing England, Isobel returned to Oxford to give birth to her first born, Stephen.

Bell, from a young age, displayed a level of intelligence. He was known to experiment and collect plant specimens, and invented a wheat-dehusking machine for his neighbor. While Bell attended school, though, he often skipped school and had poor grades. He dropped out of high school when he was fifteen. However, Bell had a great interest in multiple areas of science. He earned a renewed thirst for learning after spending a year with his elocutionist grandfather. Bell soon earned a job in elocution and music and attended the Universities of Edinburgh and London.
At the age of 11, he started his studies at St. Albans School before moving on to University College where he majored in Physics. After leaving University College he attended Cambridge, where he obtained his Ph.D. in Cosmology. At the early age of 21, Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with a debilitating disease- ALS; however, as the disease slowed and stopped the use of his body, it did not stop his love of science. He was given two years to

Alan Turing was born in Paddington, London on June 23, 1912. However, he spent most of the childhood away from his parents, Julius Turing and Ethel Sara Stoney. This time was spent at a boarding school. Beginning at age 14, he began to attend Sherborne School and continued until the age of 19.

Turing was awarded a scholarship to King's College in Cambridge when his graduation. Here, he would receive his Mathematics degree with distinctions.
In this week’s exploration in history, I chose to look at the history of John B. Watson and his contributions to the field of psychology. Firstly, John. B. Watson was born in 1878 in Greenville, South Carolina to Emma and Pickens Watson. John had a troubling relationship with both of his parents. His father was often absent in his life and he defied against his mother. Additionally, John would turn to violence, but with the help of one of his teachers, Gordon Moore, John was able to turn his life around. Moore helped John succeed further in life and move on to the University of Chicago in 1901, where he would meet his first wife, Mary Ikes. Moreover, it was at the University of Chicago that Watson became interested in comparative psychology

When I think of a person I admire, whether it be someone I aspire to become like myself or just find to be interesting, a person who comes to mind is Professor Stephen Hawking, a renowned physicist and role model for disabled people, especially for those with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Stephen Hawking is known for his many works in the world of physics, such as Hawking radiation and his various other contributions in black holes, his theory of Cosmology, and his many discoveries in the field of Quantum Mechanics. He is also known for his best-selling book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, published in 1988. Hawking possesses many traits and skills that one could appreciate, but a few of them stand out.
