Steve Jobs Transplant & His Secret Life
People from other parts of the world have perceived Silicon Valley as a hub of computer geeks, no pun intended. This southern component of San Franscisco has been pretty much the center of everything high tech for the past decades. But lately, the media at this part of the planet has leaned towards news about Steve Jobs and his health…and why not?
To start with, there’s not much tabloid-ish phenomena going on at Silicon Valley that’s worth the feasting of media. Okay, so there’s the animated Cha Cha dance of Apple co-founder, Mr. Steve Wozniak on Dancing with the Stars. Still, other magnates of the IT industry prefer to be away from public eye. Even the Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, who’s supposed to get ahead of “social networking”, is not that media-prevalent as well. And, when was the last time you heard news about Google execs?
Sure, there are few news-worthy personalities. But generally, people in the IT industry have always been low-key, concentrating more on out-of-the box technological advancements, rather than brewing up some shaking news about themselves.
Like the other big names in the industry, Steve Jobs also steers clear of unnecessary media attention and wants to keep his life as private as possible. He’s not a big fan of interviews. Digging up information about his colorful past, as well as his future plans, is up to the ingenuity of the press. The only times he’s eager to go public are during his stage appearances on Apple events, when it’s all about informing the public on the freshest gadgets and most recent upgrades.
Yes, he is quite a mysterious persona, but for some reason, the media is still fixated on anything Steve Jobs. Without a doubt, Steve Jobs is considered “royalty” in his niche. His rags-to-riches story is definitely a big plus, add the fact that his company has come up with super gadgets that people all over the world are continuously raving about. And just recently, the media wants to capitalize on his success at battling out pancreatic cancer and his recent liver transplant.
Through the years, information about his health condition was always kept at a modest level, but that’s no longer the case. Write-ups came about from left and right, some good, some bad. Spiteful intrigues were thrown at him, saying that he used his big name and fortune in order to hurdle liver transplant candidates who were ahead of him. Some were also questioning why the transplant had to be in sync with the release of the iPhone 3GS. He has his reasons, and his doctors also released statements in his defense.
This is probably just the beginning of a more public Steve Jobs. Only time can tell.

He isn’t saying that you should ignore it, but instead “dont be trapped by dogma.” It can still be present in your life, but it shouldn’t be the ‘driving force’ for everything you do.

From a general standpoint, there are the minor errors in spelling/grammar that everyone else mentioned, so have a teacher look over this with you as a favor.
Another more important issue: the part at the end where you enter the name of the school is really generic, and schools will be able to tell that you just copied and pasted. In cases like that, you might as well not even include that part if you can't include anything special about the school. You should either eliminate it or do a little research on the school and incorporate it–what specifically are you looking to get from this particular school's computer science program?
If the quote at the top wasn't part of the prompt, lose it. Your essay already begins well. It seems out of place and you don't explain why you put it there. On top of that, quotes can make an essay seem full of cliches, and you want to convey your individuality…which brings me to my most important point. Your essay consists of three paragraphs, but only the last paragraph talks about you. The middle one could be reduced to a sentence or two. Your essay is your chance to brag about yourself, so be more specific! You can gloss over the generic information on technology in our lives and go right into the part where you discuss how your teacher taught you programming codes. How else have you worked with technology? Why do you like the field (be honest!) Do you have any specific ideas for the direction you'd like your study in hardware and software to take you?
Just be honest and don't write what you think they want to hear. A vague essay sounds fake or not well thought-out. Really do some searching and ask yourself these questions. Good luck!

Of course he owns a PC. That reminds him how shitty a product can be if you don’t put all your passion into your creation. Steve is brilliant.

No i doubt it. But hey, take a look at this and see how cool he is:

It was actually a liver transplant and it is rumoured to have been done at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis.

Just a thought, but if you are going to play up the poor child aspect a bit, I would make a few comments regarding how hard you worked to save up for an iphone. Also I would try to use an active voice more throughout your paper. Also be careful about your capitalization… not sure if this is elsewhere, but in this sentence for sure:
"All This is because of the people who created these apparatus." I would consider revising this to something along the lines of:
"The ingenuity of the creators of these apparatus inspires me to explore other possibilities. Imagine the future technologies, such as ________, _________, and _________. I would love to have the knowledge to create new realities for people."
I know you are young being in high school, you've grown up with cell phones. They've only been popular about ten years now. I know, can you imagine? 12 years ago I had a beeper in high school and we could send upside down messages in the way you would on your calculator and found THAT fascinating. To be in touch with others. The pace of technological development is astounding. I would demonstrate that you grasp this fact and appreciate how far we've come and have the creativity to consider where we can go. Just imagine in the 1950s it was cutting edge to have a black and white television… and at the turn of the last century virtually nobody had a car. I know this might sound like a long time ago, but the pace of technology has certainly become much faster as time has gone on. For centuries upon centuries, horses and buggies were the primary means of transport. Consider the ramifications technology has had on our modern lives, our means of transport, communication, the jobs we explore and the educational opportunities that we have. I
f you can shadow someone for even a day it would help too in your essay rather than simply list the jobs that a person with that degree can have, you could demonstrate your awareness of the variety of career fields by personalizing it. In shadowing ________, I realize that developing new technologies requires patience, perseverence and care. Or something like that. I don't think most admissions councils are looking for a reiteration of what you can do with a degree unless you have something truly unique.
Remember, they read a lot of these. You need yours to be special, not average. I think yours is good but not amazing. Would it get you in? Maybe. But I'm not wowed. Sorry, you asked.
Hope that some of my suggestions might help. I would also circulate your draft among your english teachers and perhaps your computer science teacher as well. Good luck!

@jesserobertray
He was not saying to ignore them, he was saying no to live your life based on other people’s thinking, Instead think out of the box and make a difference. It’s a must if you want to be someone like him. It’s a requirement if you wants to go that extra mile and achieve something BIG i mean really big

I understand that personal experiences are priceless. I was simply pointing out that learning is built on past learning. So it is with other people defining “truths” or dogmas…we should not ignore these just because we did not personally discover them. If electricity had not been discovered, (or if Jobs had ignored its discovery), he would not have been able to create the GUI or Mac.

Steve Jobs has a PC.

Steve jobs owns a PC.

Great idea. Jobs is a master salesman. He is the St. Paul Of Apple Inc.
And has made Apple the most valuable computer company in the world.
Great speaker too.
He could explain better than Obama the cost of duplication and unnecessary services that occur in the HCS today, which if eliminated, would save more than enough money to pay for the 46 millions people who now don't have insurance.
That elimination would contribute to increasing the quality of care as well.

He's recovering.

Steve Jobs owns all what he wants. lol
March 28th, 2010 - 17:20
what does that have to do with anything. It’s appropriate *stigma* that he’s revolutionized the world. The best things you learn in life aren’t on paper. Never forget that.

i'm confuzzled.
