What I think:
Mendels decision to move on after not becoming a teacher was a good choice. Although Gregor Mendel is dead his discovery is still used everyday. I think it is so ironic how he didnt kno he was the forst peron ever to cross polinate pea plants. I guess it is good to be curious. His curiosity led him to this answer. I wonder how he would feel if he knew that he is now known as "The Father of Genetics." Where would we be if he hadnt discover this?
