Steve Jobs in his youth

Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. Unfortunately, he was not a welcome child for his parents. His biological father was a Syrian by birth Abdulfattah John Jandali, and his mother - Joan Carol Schible, who gave it up for adoption .

Steve's adoptive parents were Clara and Paul Jobs, and they gave him a name that we know. These people have become for him real loving parents. Steve's mom was an employee in an accounting firm, and Paul worked as a mechanic at an enterprise that manufactured laser installations.

Childhood and school years

Steve Jobs in his childhood had a very good chance of becoming a fighter and bully. After three years of training, he was expelled from school. And the fact that he moved to another school, abruptly changed his life. Thanks to the new teacher who managed to find the "key" to the child, Steve not only began to study well, but also moved through one class.

At this age Steve was sure that he was a humanist, although he understood that technology also attracted him. All decided to visit the computer terminal in Ames, when he just came to the delight of computers. Here comes the understanding of who Steve Jobs wanted to be when he was a child. And having read somehow that people who know how to solve problems on the verge of exact and human sciences are very important, he knew exactly what he would do.

One day, when Jobs was assembling a device for a physics class at school, he phoned home to the president of the company, which was called Hewlett-Packard, and asked for the necessary details. Then he received not only details, but also an offer to work in the summer in the company, in which all the ideas of the Silicon Valley were born. Here he met and became friends with Stephen Wozniak.

Life after school

After leaving school, Steve spent one semester at Reed College in Portland, and then decided to leave the college, which was too expensive. Steve at that time did not understand whether the knowledge he would receive would be useful to him. He remained a free student, but immediately lost his room in the hostel. These were not easy times.

Then young Steve Jobs went back to California. Deciding to visit India, he got a job as a technician at Atari, which at that time was producing video games. This firm paid him a trip to India, which left a trace in the soul of Jobs.
