A Young Inventor
Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. He was one of seven children. When he was a child, he had a lot of
illnesses. Thomas Edison also had hearing problems. His mother spent a lot of time worrying about him. As a result, he did not
get to enjoy the same things as other kids his age. Instead of going to school, his mother taught him at home. He also taught
himself how to read and write. When he was not doing school work, he liked to figure out how things worked. He did not let
his illnesses or being nearly deaf bother him. In fact, he liked being almost deaf because he said he could sleep better and work
with less noise to distract him.
Thomas Edison was a very hard worker. When he was 12, he started selling books, newspapers and candy on a local
train. If he was not busy selling items, he would read the books and magazines. This helped him become smarter. Soon he
started opening newspaper stands in his own town. Instead of working at the newspaper stands himself, Thomas Edison hired
other kids to work for him. He even published his own newspaper when he was a teenager. He used his profits to build a
small science lab in a baggage car.
Once, while working in his lab, Thomas Edison saw a child wander onto the railroad tracks. He saved the child and,
as a reward, was offered a job working for a telegraph company. The job gave Thomas Edison the chance to start traveling
around the country. As he traveled, he learned more about the way things worked and got new ideas. Those ideas inspired him
to create new things and he became known as one of the greatest inventors of all time.
