My Early Life

My name is Thomas Alva Edison. I was born on February 11, 1847. I believe myself that I was a mischievous little child. My teacher got irritated with my when I was 7 because of all the questions I asked. My theory is that he was just jealous that I might have been smarter than him, and look who I turned out to be. A brilliant inventor! And I was told that I was self-centered, but I don't understand what they were talking about. Mother began to teach me herself. She new so many things. It just amazed me!
