CHAPTER THREE

THE DROPOUT

Turn On, Tune In...Chrisann Brennan Toward the end of his senior year at Homestead, in the spring of 1972, Jobs started going out with a girl named Chrisann Brennan, who was about his age but still a junior.With her light brown hair, green eyes, high cheekbones, and fragile aura, she was very attractive.She was also enduring the breakup of her parents’ marriage, which made her vulnerable.“We worked together on an animated movie, then started going out, and she became my first real girlfriend,” Jobs recalled.As Brennan later said, “Steve was kind of crazy.That’s why I was attracted to him.”
