On October 5, 2011 the co-creator of Apple, Steve Jobs, passed away at his home in Cupertino, CA. Jobs passed away from pancreatic cancer, which he had been battling for several years, and respiratory arrest, as it was officially stated on his death certificate. His death was so abrupt and unexpected that the public was shocked. Amongst the shocked were students at Mount Wachusett Community College.
The news broke during Political Science Professor Shane Martin’s class. The overall reaction of the students was merely a look of wide-eyed shock, and disbelief, with mumblings of the words, “wow…” and “I can’t believe it.” Another student, Joseph Kuehlʼs reaction was no different, “When I found out it took me a few seconds to process what actually happened. I wasn’t aware he was in poor health. It was a very sad shock that affected so many individuals. For me, he was a real inspiration and will be dearly missed.”
