As a means of survival while in school he did some valets duties until he won a scholarship. At college, he found a mentor, who happens to be the first professor of mathematics in that school. This professor opened young Newton eyes to the world of unsolved problems in mechanics and mathematics.
Despite this life of hardship, rejection and dejection by both his parent and peers, he was able to distinguish himself in the world of science by inventing calculus along with Leibniz, He formalize the universal gravitational law, gave the three comprehensive laws that govern motion. He was the first to state that light is actually made up of corpuscle, which we now call photons. He generalized the theorem of binomial expansion and many other too numerous to mention.
