Steve Jobs
Early Life
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco. His biological parents, Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali—a Syrian Muslim graduate student who became a political science professor. Job's biological sister, the novelist Mona Simpson . Job was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, later to be known as Silicon Valley, California . They named him Steven Paul. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, who they named Patty.
Steve was quite a turbulent child. He really didn’t care about school for a very long time — until the 4th grade, to be precise. Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High School and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California and frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California. He was soon hired there and worked with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee. In 1972, Jobs graduated from high school and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester, he continued auditing classes at Reed, such as one in calligraphy. Jobs later stated, "If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts", he said
In the autumn of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Wozniak. He took a job as a technician at Atari, a manufacturer of popular video games, with the primary intent of saving money for a spiritual retreat to India.
Jobs then traveled to India with a Reed College friend (and, later, the first Apple employee), Daniel Kottke, in search of spiritual enlightenment. He came back a Buddhist with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. During this time he has stated that people around him who did not share his countercultural roots could not fully relate to his thinking.
