Steve Jobs by Caitlyn M.

Steve Jobs is a story of success. Not only from earning millions of dollars at the age of 23 but being so naturally smart. As a child Steve was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. He loved hanging out with his dad and playing games with his friends. When he was little one of his favorite hobbies was taking apart and rebuilding electronics. He was very smart and his teachers wanted him to skip middle school and go strait to high school. When in high school he was part of many electronic clubs. When he got older he realized exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to make computers and other electronics. He started out in his garage then moved up to Atari, then to Apple, then Next, and back to Apple. Although his life was not perfect he had many flaws including getting taken over and fired by his employee and friend. Although that did not stop him he kept trying and succeeding. In 1984 apple was being surpassed by IBM computer marketing. Until he came up with the Macintosh computer system IBM was the top in computer sales. Macintosh now known as Mac is a great computer system that is incredibly user friendly. Since then Apple has been named number one in Americas Most Admired Businesses. Not only did he become the CEO of Apple but he also is the CEO of Pixar Movie Studios also known as the producer of Finding Nemo and Toy Story. Although in 2003 Steve Jobs discovered a tumor or rare pancreatic cancer and went under surgery to get it removed. The surgery was successful and now he is living at his home in California with his wife and daughter happy, healthy, and proud.
