He later was kicked at the age of seventeen out of the choir because he’s amazing voice had matured and he could no longer sing the higher notes. He tried everything he could to make a living after this event from composing to free-lance musician. At age twenty-nine Haydn entered the Eszterhaza family (a wealthy aristocrat family). The Eszterhaza family employed Haydn to be their personal composer and write them pieces when they pleased. Haydn spent almost thirty years there.

At fifteen he left his brother's home and moved to another town, where he played the violin and organ to support himself in school. When he was eighteen, he became the organist for a church not far outside of his hometown. He left this church at twenty-three and married his cousin Barbara. In 1708, Bach became a court organist in Weimar.

His father moved the family to Paris in the year 1631 to conduct his own scientific investigation as well as to pass on his knowledge to him only son.

He enrolled at Swarthmore College and graduated with high honors. He then left for Scotland to attend school at St. Andrews. After several different stops in his educating career, he ended up at Harvard University as an assistant to a professor, where he found himself editing history books for the University. The year was 1939 and World War II was just beginning. America had not yet stepped into the war, but the population knew that America’s involvement was inevitable.
It is not surprising that he made important contributions to biology and to paleontology. Relatively little is known about Robert Hooke's life. He was born on July 18, 1635, at Freshwater, on the Isle of Wight, the son of a churchman. He was apparently educated at home by his father, although he also served an apprenticeship to an artist.

It was hot sunny day on October 24th, 1987 in southern India - the day of my birth. I was born in a hospital right down the street from my grandparents' house and was taken there soon after my birth. I would live here for a few months while my father traveled the world in search for work - in order to provide the opportunities for his child. Opportunities that he had missed out on growing up in a small village in south India. My father was true believer of hard work and put himself through medical school.
Maxwell began his undergraduate studies at Edinburgh University at age sixteen and entered graduate school at Cambridge University at age nineteen. After graduation, he was a fellow and professor at a variety of colleges in the United Kingdom. Maxwell was inducted as a Fellow of The Royal Society of Edinburgh when he was 25, and promoted to a Fellow of The Royal Society at age 30. After a fruitful career, James Maxwell passed away at the age of 48 of stomach cancer, which was oddly the same cause and timing of his mother’s death when Maxwell was eight years old (Forfar, 1995). Before we start talking about Maxwell’s Equations, let’s look back into history.
In Donne’s early years his mother had a private tutor for him until he was nine years of age and then was sent to the University of Oxford (Walton xix). At the age of fourteen Donne went to Cambridge where, the duality of his pursuits, of what to become in life, began. Friends and tutors encouraged Donne to be free of being tied to a career by not choosing a degree – truly a Renaissance way of thinking (Walton xix). He left, Oxford without taking a degree; graduation required signing an oath of allegiance to the monarch, an act that would have compromised his Catholicism. (Logan 1212).
“Performance enhancing drugs in sport should be legalised.” Tim Chappell won the initial vote with 86% of students voting against drugs in sport. Steve Olivier started the debate by stating the five main arguments against his case which were that using drugs is against the nature of sport, drugs are unfair, it is unnatural, loss of freewill and causes harm. He continued by breaking down each point and highlighting its flaws. His first point stated that drugs were not against the nature of sport because sport is already an unnatural practice. He then went on to argue that sport is already economically unfair and poorer nations are disadvantaged.
