Stephen Hawking’s story is one of my favourite scientist stories. He was a very bright gentleman and I would like to be that bright some day and study at Cambridge or Oxford. However, I would like to be an archaeologist and a lawyer. I also read about the Hawking’s radiation and my parents explained it to me. It is very interesting!

It interested me because I learned about Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking was a scientist but when he was 21 , doctor's said he had a disease and he would only live a few more years. Then he started to trip over without a reason and even people couldn't understand what Stephen was saying. On his 65th birthday he celebrated by space walking in zero gravity , leaving his wheelchair for the first time in 40 years . He proved the doctors wrong though because he lived until age 76 not a few more years after 21.
