Why did Newton enroll at the lowest entry at college?

Answer 1

When Sir Isaac newton was a boy, he was more interested in making mechanical

devices than in studying. He made a windmill which could grind wheat and corn, and he

made a water clock and a sundial. His teachers thought of him as a weak student

because he didn't do very well.

He wanted to go to college, but he didn't have the money to go. He enrolled at the

lowest entry, which was the cheapest. In this position he had to serve the other

students by doing chores for them. He even ate the leftovers of their meals, but he

would do anything to get an opportunity to learn. Even when he was in college, he was

not outstanding and received no awards.

When the university shut down because of the plague (an illness where people caught

diseases and died suddenly), he went home and continued to study on his own. He had

a notebook with 140 blank pages and he began to fill them with notes as he read and

experimented about different things around him.

His childlike curiosity led him to make some very important discoveries when he became

a man. Within a period of a year and half he made three great discoveries.

One day when he was drinking tea in the garden, he saw an apple fall to the ground.

He started thinking about why it fell, and finally decided that the same force (called

gravity) which caused the apple to fall also kept the moon in the sky around the earth.

This same force called gravity, also kept the planets in the sky around the sun.

The apple incident led to his three basic laws of movement: An object in movement

stays in motion unless an external force stops it; an object moves in a straight line

unless some force makes it change direction; and for every action, there is an equal

and opposite reaction.

Isaac Newton is well known as one of the greatest scientists who ever lived.
