Free English Pronunciation Lesson: Script of speech given Steve Jobs in 2005 at Stanford University 

^{I’m honoured to be with you today}

^{at your commencement}

^{from one of the finest universities in the world.}

^{I never graduated from college.}

^{Truth be told,}

^{this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.}

^{Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.}

^{That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.}

^{The first story is about connecting the dots.}

^{I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months,}

^{but then stayed around as a drop-in}

^{for another eighteen months or so before I really quit.}

 ^{So why did I drop out?}

^{It started before I was born.}

^{My biological mother was a young,}

^{unwed college graduate student,}

^{and she decided to put me up for adoption.}

^{She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates,}

^{so everything was all set  for me to be adopted at birth}

^{by a lawyer and his wife.}

^{Except that when I popped out}

^{they decided at the last minute}

^{that they really wanted a girl.}

^{So my parents, who were on a waiting list,}

^{got a call in the middle of the night asking:}

^{“We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?”}

^{They said: “Of course.”}

^{My biological mother later found out}

^{that my mother had never graduated from college}

^{and that my father had never graduated from high school.}

^{She refused to sign the final adoption papers.}
