He began his first year there in Homestead High School in late 1968, but he also had no interest in sports and said he was always a loner. But he underwent a change during mid-1970, he started to read more outside of just science and technology— Shakespeare, Plato,King Lear and so on. From that point, Jobs developed two different circles of friends: those who were involved in electronics and engineering and those who were interested in art and literature
Jobs's official biographer, Walter Isaacson, described him as a "creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing."
he knew how to build anything.

In 1971 after Wozniak began University of California, Berkeley, Jobs began to visit him in Berkeley a few times a week. This experience led him to study in nearby Stanford University's student union. Jobs also decided that rather than join the electronics club and learned lots of new things
• In a 2005 commencement speech for Stanford University, Jobs states that during this period, he slept on the floor in friends' dorm rooms, returned Coke bottles for food money, and got weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple. In that same speech, Jobs said: "If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts."
