Bell left school without graduating at the age of 15. After that, he enrolled at University College London but didn’t finish the study at the end because his family was moving to Canada after his brother’s death.

Bell fell in love with his student, Mabel Hubbard. She was deaf since she was 5 because of fever. Although they had 10 years age gap, they eventually got married and had 4 children.

Bell patented his method to transmit sounds on February 14, 1876. A few hours after Bell patented, Gray filed a patent on an almost identical method.
