• Stephen Hawking hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer.
• Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house.
• And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope.
