The childhood of Steve Jobs really surprised me when I searched it in depth. It’s remarkable to read about someone that had it so rough and dropped out of college but later went on to change the world and become one of the world’s greatest technological visionaries. I can’t say that I can relate to his childhood or think of anyone I’ve known that can relate to it but it truly did inspire me. It really makes me consider the type of life I want to have when I’m older and encourages me to be whatever I want to be. I don’t think Jobs was necessarily trying to take the easy way out by dropping out of college but rather realizing that college wasn’t for him and knowing he could succeed anyway. I’m not saying that dropping out is the way to go but he really is a perfect example of faith and determination. I would imagine that his decision to drop out made his road a lot harder. Without an education, life isn’t easy and I am sure that made his career a battle. While reading and researching his childhood, I did have a lot of questions. I didn’t understand how a social outcast with absolutely no confidence would make it. Then later on, Jeff Goodell explained how Steve knew exactly what he wanted and was going to get it. He told his friend that someday he would be a millionaire and from then on I started to realize what a little bit of determination could do.
