Steve Jobs

         



          Joanne, Steve´s biological mother, after coming back from a trip, discovered she was pregnant. She didn´t want a son, but as a catholic women, she had no choice. Steve´s mother putted her baby for adoption. When the baby was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, they named him Steven Paul Jobs. Paul was a machinist for a company. With his father, Steve learned how to work with electronics. Consequently, he wanted to work with electronics, making it a hobby.
         



          In school, he was a really bad student, all teachers had a really hard time with him. Nevertheless, he did it so good in tests that administrators wanted to skip him, from fourth grade, to high school (his parents declined). When he got into high school, Steve made friends who were interested in electronics just like him. He frequented lecture at the Hewlett-Packard and  was hired there as a part-time employee. One of his friends, Wozniak, worked there with him.

           Jobs got into Reed College. However, it was too expensive for Paul and Clara pay, because they did not have a lot of money. He kept having classes, but he had to sleep on the floor of his friends room. He also did courses, including a calligraphy one.

          Steven Paul Jobs became the CEO of Apple and also served as chief executive of Pixar Animation studios. In 1985, Jobs left Apple. However, he came back to the corporation and brought it from almost failure to a success in 1998. As the new CEO he developed the iTunes, iPod, iMac, iPhone and the iPad. In 2011, Steve Jobs died, but he has been called the father of the digital revolution. And now he leaves his life in a biography called "Steve Jobs".
