Steve Jobs Major Accomplishments

Steve Jobs, the man who created the Apple Company, the man who started a new era of computer design, found the American Dream. He may have had trouble in his life, but in the end he overcame his obstacles. He had ideas that no one had before and always wanted the impossible to become possible. He would look at an idea that people could only imagine in their head. Steve would find the hardest of problems and find a way to solve them. It shows how life can sometimes be hard, but life can also be very rewarding.

Steve was born in San Francisco California on February 24,1955. His parents could not care for a baby at the time. They thought that they were not responsible enough to raise a baby. The only reasonable solution for them was to put Steve

Once Steve was old enough he started school. Immediately school was bad for Steve. He had no friends and hated everything about school. One kid even called Steve a cry baby and a loner. Steve decided to not do his homework, and he even said, "It is a waste of time!" Steve also started to pull pranks on the school teachers. His parents did not like this at all, and thought that Steve was turning into a juvenile delinquent. As a result Steve and his family left that school district and moved to Los Altos, Ca. In his new school Steve started to make friends who also enjoyed learning about electronics. One of Steve's friends was Bill Fernandez. Bill lived right next to the Wozniak's house and was friends with Steve Wozniak. Bill and Steve Wozniak liked to build small machines together. One day the two decided to build something almost impossible, a computer. At the time computers were very expensive, and almost no one had them this did not stop Bill’s and Wozniak’s determination. Unfortunately Steve Wozniak who was older had to leave for college making him withdraw from the construction of the computer. He encouraged Bill to keep working on the computer, and to get someone to help him. Bill already knew who was up for the task, Steve Jobs. Bill and Steve worked very hard on the the computer. Sometimes Wozniak would have time off and could help Steve and Bill. Wozniak had more knowledge about computers than Steve

Hill’s class. Things were about to change. This teacher had a very big impact on Steve. Mrs. Hill knew that Steve was a troublemaker, so she would challenge him by bribing him with five dollars and a lollipop if he did his math homework. Steve would accept the money and candy because when you are a kid you will always accept that. Steve Jobs said during a Smithsonian interview, "I probably learned more in that one school year than any other year in school." After that school year he skipped fifth grade and went right into sixth grade. He could have even gone into high school, but his parents said that he needed to learn more so he stayed in sixth grade. Once Steve could go into college he did. He got into Reed college in Portland Oregon. Steve's first semester in college was a failure because he had horrible grades and did not like the classes that he took. He eventually dropped out of college but was able to get back his entire tuition. Steve did not know what to do. Fortunately Reed college allowed him to stay on campus and attend classes as a listener. He was also allowed to sleep in the dorm rooms that no one used. Steve's favorite class that he listened to was about calligraphy. This class was great because it taught Steve about different font styles. Steve never thought that this class would actually help, but it did. This later gave him the idea of making a computer that could have different
