George Washington Carver was a man who became famous for his astounding discovery of things around the world, as well as himself. Some of the amazing things he invented were shaving cream, ink, shampoo, and instant coffee. He also had a wonderful education at Simpson College. He then attended Iowa Agricultural College, (which is now Iowa State University.) While working as a janitor, he still received a degree in science in 1894 and then Tuskegee Institute specializing in an interesting major, botany, the study of plants. From there, he became a professor at Tuskegee.

     Although he was and is still a remarkable person, his early childhood wasn’t as beautiful as ours today. In 1894, the year of his birth, there were difficult and changing times, because the Civil War had just ended, and many families had mourned because of the death of a solider. The infant George and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate night-raiders and possibly sent away to Arkansas. His mother had disappeared forever, and was not seen by anyone again. Carver’s father remains unheard, although they think he was a slave in a neighboring farm. Moses and Susan Carver took in George and his brother as their own children. It was at the farm where George first fell in love with nature, and earned a nickname entitled, “The Plant Doctor,” and collected rocks and plants.

          In conclusion, George Washington Carver wanted some marvelous things, and he miraculously earned them at hard costs.
