John Forbes Nash was born in Bluefield Sanatorium, West Virginia on the 13th of June, 1928. John showed much interest in books when he was young, shying away from play with other children. His mother encouraged this by seeing that he got good schooling, and also teaching him herself. Nash's teachers at school did not recognize his genius, but instead labeled him as backward because of his lack of social skills. We as educators now recognize that Nash was bored at school and had nothing to excite him into learning there. His primary learning was done at home.
