Hoon+Ho+C.-+I+am+Thomas+Edison

My character for this project is Thomas Edison. I am very interested in this person because he had many inventions that gave me the curiosity to research about him. So far, I have only noticed that he made the light bulb, but as I researched I learned more about him, such as the inventions and the family life. The things that I know for Thomas Edison is that he made this amazing invention, light bulb. To make this light bulb he have tried at least thousands times to make just one perfect one. Also in his childhood he was partially deaf and wasn't able to hear many things that people said.

Why is Thomas Edison working so hard for his inventions? Could he have succeed if he went to school?

For this question, I predict that the people probably wouldn't have had light bulbs for the world. It took a lot of work for Thomas Edison to invent such thing. They say that he have tried at least thousands times to make an one perfect light bulb. During the history so far, I think that nobody would try thousand times to just to make one light bulb. They would just give up. It was all the effort he put in. If he didn't exist in that period, we would probably still be living in the dark. Also if he didn't exist people probably wouldn't try so hard to their work. For myself, I admire this person a lot, since I have learned a important lesson from him. He have taught me if I work hard, their is going to be nothing that is impossible. In case he didn't exist in that period of time, I might not have the trust of working hard on my things. Also Thomas Edison inspired the people who are very disabled. He was partially deaf on his left ear and for right ear he was completely deaf. Still, he was able to succeed many things. From this, people who were disabled got inspired. Imagine if he didn't exist, could people get inspired and have the courage to stand up? I think that it was very important that he exist and made significant inventions, but also inspired people. This one person could change the whole world around. I probably had not been inspired from all the work I have done so far. For all the people who are disable they were couraged by Thomas Edison. In my research, I heard that Franklin Roosevelt was encouraged by Thomas Edison with his disablility. Then he stood up. In this case if he didn't exist the whole world might have changed and Roosevelt might not have been a president of the United States. Therefore, I think that Thomas Edison was an important character during that period of time who have made a lot of changes of the history. In my thoughts, there might have been a lot of depression in this world if Thomas Edison didn't exist.
