Hello,
Thank you for the biography of Elbert Einstein. You did a good job of showing that he was a remarkable man.

I have a suggestion that might help improve the submission. Organize of your facts.

You start with Einstein's early life then you skip to his sceintific discoveries, then back to his teaching. Look at the information and decide what should come first, second, third...etc. Once you put your facts in the order in which they happened, I think you will see your work improve somewhat.
Best,
