Thomas Jefferson was born april 13, 1743 in Virginia. When he was born George Washington was already eleven years old and Benjamin franklin was thirty-seven. Thomas loved his father very much. He was the hardest worker and strongest man he had ever seen. Thats why it was such i shock for him when he unexpectedly died. Thomas was then the man of the house and had to provide for his family.
When Thomas turned sixteen he was excepted into the College of William and Mary in Virginia's capital city of Williamsburg. When he joined he was ranked as an advanced student. Jefferson first dug into Latin and Greek so he could read classical works in the original languages. He loved learning so much that at parties he could pull away from his dearest friends and return to his studies. Amazingly, Thomas graduated from college at the age of nineteen.
