Greetings! My name is Nicolaus Copernicus, and today I’m going to narrate to you some of the things that happened in my life.
I was born on February 19, 1473, in Torun, Poland. I was the youngest child of four children. I was born into a family of merchants.
Although, ten years later, two misfortunes happened to me. When I was ten, my father died, and not long after, my mom did too.
First I had to say goodbye to my father and now to my mother.
Don't worry, everything will be fine.
After my father and mother died, I was adopted by my Uncle Lucas Watzenrode, who would become my only guide while growing up.
My uncle always provided me with the best education and opportunities possible. He first sent me to the Cathedral School in Wloclawek so I could study to become a clergyman.
