Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19- year-old Swede is anything but ordinary, from the computer in his parents’ home, he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the world’s most wanted web criminals.
Johathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.
Johathan’ s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the “virtual” crime wave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother’s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e – security to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker trade.
Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden’s Uppsala University and start up his own e – security company.
Although he works with the FBI now, his family insists he’s just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help,” not because he’s looking for fame and recognition.
When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e – security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e – mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to slove, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.
“This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at.”

A few years ago, I went hiking with my older sister, Mary, and her friend, Jonathan. Our 1 was to reach the tip of the mountain so we could see the beautiful view. The hike was 2 and the heat drained our energy. As we were 3 the summit, through the treetops we could see the valley below. The sight at that point was 4 impressive. Jason was satisfied with the view and suggested we turn back. Jessi and I insisted we keep going so we could make it to the top, but Jason decided not to continue. When we finally reached our destination, the whole view was 5 . The view from the summit gave us a 360 degree advantageous point of the entire area, which was much more incredible than the limited view Jason had where he stopped. It was well 6 the extra effort. What is the point of this story? Set your goals and never settle for less than what you can achieve!
As we 7 high school to go forward with our lives, we will each have our own mountains to climb. All of us will face different challenges and struggles. We all have the 8 to set new goals and to achieve them. As we continue in life, we must remember that if we succeed, we must not be proud. If we fail, we must not 9 . If we face adversity (逆境), we must trust that there is always a way through it. If we experience prosperity, we must never forget those who are not so fortunate.
As graduates, we have already proven we can achieve important goals. Let’s go forward, set new goals and never settle for less than what we can achieve.
