Steve Jobs


Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, has died yesterday of pancreatic cancer.  I have so many Apple products that Steve Jobs invented, like for example, the iPhone 4.  I’m typing right now on my MacBook Pro, and later, I will probably look at photos to remember Steve Jobs.  I did know about him before he died, about the things he invented and about his company.  His death makes me feel sorrow.  If I could speak to him, I would tell him that I admire him for his inventions. I liked his loud voice, watching him on Apple events, and his ideas.  He inspires me because I want to have a real signature that looks “less cursive”.  I listened to his commencement speech and he was talking about learning calligraphy, or word art.  I would also be interested in studying something like that. 

I’ve been vey busy lately.  I have been cheering and I’m excited about my first competition.  I might take private cheer lessons to work on my tumbling, cheering, stunting, and jumps.  I also got some not-so-great grades, which is the first time that has happened to me in 8th grade.  I’m studying more and trying to understand what my teachers want from me.  Socially, I have figured out that I have “social dyslexia”.  That’s like when you have social problems and you see things the wrong way.  Now that I know this, I’m trying to fight this by trying to talk to other people and figure out situations.  In the end, I’d like to be able to talk to other people, and be able to have plenty of ideas to talk to people about.  Sometimes, I run out of things to talk about and then I feel like I’m left out.  My friend told me that it is a good idea to ask people questions about themselves.  That way, I get to learn about my friends, but I also get to continue the conversation.
