About Walt Disney
Walter Elias Disney, also known as Walt Disney was born December 5, 1901 in Chicago Illinois. In school Disney would often fall asleep in class, perform poorly or just not pay attention. Many think this is because of the work his father put him though or the fact that he was constantly repeating grades and being pulled out of school. Some suggest that he could've had ADHD but there is nothing to support this theory. Although we are not sure which theory proves correct, we do know that he never got any more than an eighth grade education. Despite his lack of formal education, Disney never stopped learning: reading, teaching himself animation, tirelessly experimenting and working to improve his craft.
