Thomas Edison
	
I have chosen Thomas Alva Edison for this report.  I selected Thomas Edison because he is the reason for many of life’s conveniences today.  Thomas Edison was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio.  He grew up in Port Huron, Michigan.  
There are many stories about what Edison was like as a child.  They all show that from an early age, Edison was curious about the world around him and always tried to teach himself through reading and experiments.  As a boy, Edison worked as a gatekeeper at his father's observatory for tourists, and worked on a railway selling newspapers and candy to passengers.  In 1869, when Edison was twenty-two years old, he patented his first invention and advertised that he "would hereafter devote his full time to bringing out his inventions."  
Thomas Edison would see tremendous change take place in his lifetime.  He was also to be responsible for making many of those changes occur.  When Edison was born, society still thought of electricity as a novelty, a fad.  By the time he died, entire cities were lit by electricity.  Much of the credit for that progress
