Paper on Steve Jobs and Apple
I wake up bright and early only to realize one of my greatest journalistic achievements was about to be fulfilled. I had landed a once-in-a-lifetime interview with the C.E.O. of Apple himself, Mr. Steven Paul Jobs, better known as Steve Jobs.

The choice for this important setting is the Starbucks on 33rd and 7th Ave. for the interview. I received a tip that Steve loves a good Hot Chocolate. I wait patiently for him to walk in.

I couldn’t help myself but to also notice his “story” filled eyes, glancing at his surroundings as he whispered to his “security” element that he agreed with the setting. Black sweater and blue jeans as usual, with a smooth aftershave like musk surrounding him. I got up from my seat and finally shake hands with “the man”. “Good Morning, and thank you for this surreal opportunity to ask you a few questions throughout your busy schedule”. “No worries young lad” he replies, “It’s my privilege to take time and sit with tomorrow’s youth and figure out what I can do to better build Tomorrow’s Technological advances here at Apple”. “Once again, all I can say is thank you… So why don’t we get started? “Sure thing… I’m ready when you are”

But I figured, Can’t go wrong if I just stick to the roots, the basics… starting from the Beginning. ”So, tell me a little about yourself, your childhood, your life. How did you create this “empire” if I may?” And just like that, he began telling his amazing story. “I was born in San Francisco,
