Nikola Tesla's Accomplishments
One scientist that deserves more recognition is definitely Nikola Tesla. Although many of his ideas were lost after his death, the ideas and inventions he did share with the world were amazing. Tesla was rejected by many of the people in his time, but what those people did not know was how advanced Tesla and his ideas were, and how great of an impact he still has on us today. Many people take advantage of the modern inventions we have today but they never really know how much effort someone put into designing that item, or how many times they had to redo and modify it. It is much harder than you think. Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia on July 10, 1856. His father, Milutin Tesla was a Serbian Orthodox priest, and his mother, Djuka Mandic created home craft tools

Some of which involve falling into a huge vat of boiling milk, risked drowning under a raft and found himself nearly swept over a waterfall. Strangely enough, he would get a fever by looking at a peach. Putting squares into a dish of liquid would create a horrid taste in the young boy’s mouth. These quirks stayed with him throughout his whole lifetime, and prepared him for the world of science. From counting his steps as he walked, to ensuring that every single repeated act he did was divisible by three, otherwise he would do it over again. Tesla did not initially study engineering in his college career. Instead, he studies physics and mathematics, aiming to become a professor like his uncle Josif. His school had recently purchased a Gramme Dynamo, which his physics professor used to teach his class about electric currents. This is what sparked Nikola Tesla’s interest to study engineering. However, he began carousing during his second year of college, and this led to skipping lectures altogether during his third year. This caused his school to cancel his scholarship and he was thrown out of college for
