I think that a hero is a person with great strength or ability to help people. A person who is considered a hero is Bill Gates. His complete name is William Henry Gates. He was born in Seattle, Washington, and his family was wealthy.

Gates did a number of things, donating large amounts of money to organizations that help the poor and scientific research programs through the Bill Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000. I think Bill Gates cares for others because he helps poor people. The foundation has provided funds for college scholarships for disabled children and for diseases common in the third world countries. Bill Gates and his father have modeled their giving focusing on those Global problems that are ignored by government and other organizations. He is best known for his personal computer Revolution. He is very admired by the people. His foundation gave 1 billion dollars to the United Negro College. These donations have changed the attitudes among the very rich people towards helping others in need.

I think Bill Gates is a great hero for his generosity to the poor people and for his foundation.
