Jobs
Continued from page 1
photos, playing games and social networking. And in 2010,
Jobs introduced the iPad, a tablet-sized, all-touch computer
that took off even though market analysts said no one really
needed one.
By 2011, Apple had become the second-largest company
of any kind in the United States by market value. In August,
it briefly surpassed Exxon Mobil as the most valuable com-
pany.
Under Jobs, the company cloaked itself in secrecy to build
frenzied anticipation for each of its new products. Jobs him-
self had a wizardly sense of what his customers wanted, and
where demand didn't exist, he leveraged a cult-like following
to create it.
When he spoke at Apple presentations, almost always
in faded blue jeans, sneakers and a black mock turtleneck,
legions of Apple acolytes listened to every word. He often
boasted about Apple successes, then coyly added a coda —
"one more thing' — before introducing its latest ambitious
idea.
In later years, Apple investors also watched these appear-
ances for clues about his health. Jobs revealed in 2004 that
he had been diagnosed with a very rare form of pancreatic
cancer — an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor. He underwent
surgery and said hi had been cured. In 2009, following
weight loss he initially attributed to a hormonal imbalance,
he abruptly took a six-month leave. During that time, he
received a ver transplant that became pub ic two months
after it was performed.
He went on another medical leave in January 2011, this
time for an unspecified duration. He never went back and
resigned as CEO in August, though he stayed on as chairman.
Consistent with his penchant for secrecy, he didn't reference
his illness in his resignation letter.
Steven Paul Jobs was born Feb. 24,1955, in San Francisco
to Joanne Simpson, then an unmarri< . graduate student,
and Abdulfatl ah Jandali, a student from Syria. Simpson gave
Jobs up for adoption, though she married Jandali and a few
years later had a second child with him, Mona Simpson, who
became a novelist.
Steven was ado| ed by Clara and Paul Jobs of Los Altos,
California, a working-class couple who nurtured his early
interest in electronics. He saw his first computer terminal
at NASA's Ames Research Center when he was around 11
and landed a summer job at Hewlett-Packard before he had
finished high school.
Jobs enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Ore., in 1972 but
dropped out after six months.
"All of m working-class parents' savings were being spent
on my a lege tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the
value in it," he said at a Stanford University commencement
address in 2005. "I had no idea what I wanted to do with my
life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it
out."
When he returned to California in 1974, Jobs worked
for video game maker Atari and attended meetings of the
Homebrew Computer Club - a group of computer hobby-
ists — with Steve Wozniak, a high school friend who was a
few years older.
Wozniak's homemade computer drew attention from other
enthusiasts, but Jobs saw its potential far beyond the geeky
hobbyists of the time. The pair started Apple Computer Inc.
in Jobs' parents' garage in 1976. According to Wozniak, Jobs
suggested the name after visiting an "apple orchard" that
Wozniak said was actually a commune.
Their first creation was the Apple I - essentially, the guts
of a computer without a case, keyboard or monitor
The Apple II, which hit the market in 1977, was their first
machine for th masses. It became so popular that Jobs was
worth $100 million by age 25.
During a 1979 visit to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center,
Jobs again spotted mass potential in a niche invention: a
computer that allowed people to control computers with the
click of a mouse, not typed commands. He returned to Apple
and ordered his engineering team to copy what he had seen.
It foreshadowed a propensity to take other people's con-
cepts, improve on them and spin them into wildly success-
ful products. Under Jobs, Apple didn't invent computers,
digital music players or smartphones — it reinvented them
for people who didn't want to ;arn computer programming
or negotiate the technical hassles of keeping their gadgets
working.
We have always been shameless about stealing great
ideas," Jobs said in an interview for the 1996 PB; series
"Triumph of the Nerds."
The engineers responded with two computers. The pricier
Lisa — the same name as his daughter — launched to a cool
reception in 1983 The less-expensive Macintosh, named
for an employee's favorite apple, exploded onto the scene in
1984.
The Mac was heralded by an epic Super Bowl commercial
that referenced George Orwell's 984" and captured Apple's

Many items have been
taken in the burglaries
including several stereos,
a laptop computer, mobile
phone, several purses, a
vehicle maintenance book,
jewelry and loose change.
"All of the vehicles that
were burglarized so far were
unlocked. We encourage
all residents to lock their
doors," said Kelley. "Also,
don't leave anything valu-
able inside of your vehicle
overnight."
Kelley also encour-

iconoclastic style. In the ad, expressionless drones marched
t hrough dark halls to an auditorium where a Big Brother-like
figure lectures on a big screen. A woman in a bright track
uniform burst into the hall and launched a hammer into the
screen, which exploded, stunning the drones, as a narrator
announced the arrival of the Mac.
There were early stumbles at Apple. Jobs clashed with
colleagues and even the CEO he had hired away from Pepsi,
John Sculley. And after an initial spike, Mac sales slowed, in
part because few programs had been written for it.
With Apple's stock price sinking, conflicts between Jobs
and Sculley mounted. Sculley won over the board in 1985 and
pushed Jobs out of his day-to-day role leading the Macintosh
team. Jobs resigned his post as chairman of the board and
left Apple within months.
"What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone,
and it was devastating," Jobs said in his Stanford speech. "I
didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from
Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to
me The heaviness: of being successful was replaced by the
lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about every-
t rig. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods
of my life."
He got into two other companies: Next, a computer maker,
and Pixar, a computer-animation studio that he bought from
George Lucas for $10 million.
Pixar, ultimately the more successful venture, seemed at
first a bottomless money pit. Then in 1995 came "Toy Story,'
the first computer-animated full-length feature. Jobs used
its success to negotiate a sweeter deal with Disney for Pixar's
next two films, t Bug's Life" and "Toy Story 2." Jobs sold
Pixar to The Walt Disney Co. for $7.4 billion in stock in a
deal that got him a seat on Disney's board and 138 million
shares of stock that accounted for most of his fortune. Forbes
magazine estimated Jobs was worth $7 billion in a survey
last month.
With Next, Jobs came up with a cube-shaped computer. He
was said to be obsessive about the tiniest details, insisting

even coached junior high girls' athletics. She has taught
fourth grade at Highlam for the last five years. She
earned her elementary teaching degree and a Master's
as a reading specialist from Angelo State.
"I have taught at all levels at one point or another in
iny careei and can honest say that I loved each age
level, for different reasons," she said. The most reward-
ing aspect of teaching for her is the relationships she
builds with a group of new students each year. "When
we begin a year, there are some students that I only
know by name," she said. "However, by the end of the
year, I consider every one of them 'my kids' because of
the bond we've built throughout the year."
She pointed out that she keeps in touch with students
and athletes she's taught over the years, and to hear one
of them say that she has made a difference in their lives
has made all she's done worth it.
'The most inviting reason to teach elementary is that
the students are eager to learn and participate. Learning
still holds a certain level of magic for them," she added.
She always wanted to teach and she credits her parents
for teaching her the value of hard work and encouraging
her that she could reach her goals with that hard work.
"We were always told that we could be anything we
wanted to be, which in my case, was a teacher." She also
credits a number of teachers who taught her or worked
with her for their positive influence.
Like most women, Carper said the hardest thing about
her job is finding a balance between doing her best as a
wife and mom, and yet still doing her best as a teacher.
"Both roles are demanding of your time and energy," she
said. "With the more rigorous curriculum coming along,
it is necessary to constantly look for ways to take the
students to a higher level."
Stewart pointed out thai "teachers from across the
state go above and beyond what is required so that
Texas students are successful." She said most teachers
like Mrs. Carper do not want recognition but are "very
deserving of our respect, gratitude and recognition."
Carper said it meant the world to her that her co-
workers at Highland chose her to represent their school.
f feel very honored and humbled," she said. "There
are many other teachers in Region 14 who are just as
deserving." She added that she feels extremely iessed
to work 1 a school district where she is surrounded by
"talented educators, awesome students, and a support-
ive, involved community." "Those factors make what I
do a pleasure."
