Early Childhood:

Jobs biological parents put him up for
adoption, and he got adopted by Paul and
Clara Jobs. Steve grew up in a whole
neighbourhood full of engineers working on
electronics. That's where he gained a lot of
interest in electronics as he grew up. Once he
reached 13, he met the most important
person of his life, Stephen Wozniak (later he
helped Steve build Apple). Stephen was an
electronic wiz as well and they both went to a
Computer Club together, so they were best
friends.

Adulthood:
5 years later at College age, Steve asked his
parents at the time, to go to a high-achieving
College. His parents agreed and just went along
with it, because they knew he was gifted. After a
couple of days when his fees arrived, his parents
weren't surprised. They knew they were going to
get that shock, so they depended on him to show
them what they wanted. Steve's biological
parents promised him he would have a College
education (the College name was Reed College).
After 1 semester of Reed College, he dropped out,
and got more interested in Philosophy. He joined
a Computer club that Stephen Wozniak convinced
him to join. This allowed Steve to build his own
computer and software. That's when he and
Stephen made the first Apple 1 computer in their
own garage in 1976 (April 1st).


Achievements:
Jobs achievements were making the first
Apple computer in 1976 also with his 200
million he earned when he was 25, he
donated 1 3
rd
of his money to charity, now
thats nearly 66 million!
Mostly his achievements were creating the 2
Apple computers, the Macintosh and creating
Pixar. These are his achievements because
these products are the future, like from the
first Apple computer, and now look at the
latest computers and laptops!
He was a great role model, to teach people to
never give up, no matter how poor or where
they came from. He encouraged people to
strive to be their best.


Apple:
In 1976, the company Apple stared business with the
first Apple computer. 1 year later, he asked the Former
Intel Exclusive for $250,000 for Apple, eventually he
got the money. During 1984, Apples sales were going
down, so Jobs refused to acknowledge it, and
continued to behave as he had saved Apple. This
created a lot of dis-agreement and tension between
the company. Steve began to not talk to John Scully,
(the other founder of Apple) because he was never
agreeing of what Steve had to say. Jobs started trying
to convince the Top executives and Directors, that John
should go. Instead, after all the trouble, Steve! He got
kicked out of his own company and he got fired. 4
months after he came back with a plan that totally
backfired and somehow he got fired. From that he
resigned in September 1885. During that time he met
up with some computer scientists and created Pixar!
This includes the movies Toy Story, Cars, Finding
Nemo, Monsters Inc and The Incredibles.
