Carolus Linnaeus
Carolus was born May 23, 1707 in a small village in Southern Sweden. His father was Nils Ingemarsson, an amateur botanist. He picked up his father's love for plants and botany. He began growing his own plants in his family’s garden in the search of finding new plants. He started school at the age of 10, but he didn't excel. Then he continued to work on his own botanical studies. His teachers told him he was not bright enough for a university. They ignored his skills for botany and said it wasn't a real “proper subject." One of his school teachers, Johan Rothman, a medical doctor, noticed his talents. He informed his father that Carl should look into school for medicine. Carl moved in with the Rothman family and studied anatomy, physiology, and botany. By the age of 21, he was ready for a university and enrolled in Lund University. He switched to Uppsala University because Rothan told him that the botany classes were better. At age 23 he dropped out of the classes and became a lecturer at the University.
