6th Period There have been many different scientific discoveries throughout history. Scientists have found different galaxies, medicines that cure the sick, or someone like Gregor Mendel, who discovered chromosome genes. Gregor Mendel discovers why/how a person looks the way they do. Growing up, Gregor Mendel did not have much money. At first, he also studied meteorology before he studied genes Gregor entered college by age 21, when he was in school at a younger age his teachers knew that he was very smart. He also was a monk. People believe that in the library he used to study in was a secret room where all the monks would study and that is when Gregor got into discovering genes. He …show more content…
He started college at 21. Back then it was early, in today's world it is normal to be in college around 21 or 20, even 18. Time has changed so much!!! He becomes apart of the science program. Gregor mendel worked very hard in school. He was constantly studying and working towards figuring new things out. He studied in a room with other monks, or he went outside to study alone where it was more quiet and he could focus more. Gregor had really bad test anxiety. Back then they probably did not have medicine for anxiety, therefore he just had deal with it or find something to do to take his mind of the test he was about to take. He had to take a lot of test in his life span considering all the education he got, so that means he had anxiety pretty regularly. Gregor died at the age of 61 which i thought was a bit odd, he studied the human body so he should have known a lot about it, he died from kidney failure. 61 is not that old, it is also pretty young for your kidneys to start failing. That is why i thought it was weird because he should have known how to take good care of his body but nobody knows, he could have had many more problems besides kidney failure that could have led up to his kidneys …show more content…
everyone knew him as a hardworking man. All of his outcomes were everything positive. If something did not go right he would go back and change something. Of course not every experiment was perfect or not everything was organized but he made sure to keep working until he was satisfied. He had a very good work ethic because he had to work on the farm growing up with his family. He also attended school as a child but he came home he continuously worked and all that work paid off when it came to him growing up and being able to stay focused. It wasn't hard for him to stay focused anyway because he loved to
