The making of brilliance: Steve Jobs

     Steve Jobs was one of the most brilliant individuals when he was alive.  Steve Jobs sadly died a couple of days ago living from 1955-2011.  He was the former CEO of a mega money making business, Apple.  He has accomplished many things in his life and inspired many people to do great things.

     Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco.  Being born out of wedlock he was put up for adoption.  Because his biological mother and father both had college educations, they wanted his parents to also have one.  Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs did not meet these expectations, but after a short time Joanne agreed to have her baby adopted by them under the firm condition that they would send him to college when the time came to it.  As a boy Steve didn't like school all too much until he reached the 4th grade and found his "saint teacher".  She helped him by bribing him with candy and 5 dollar bills.  This would start the brilliance of Steve Jobs.
