Bill Gates

Heroes can do anything to change the world. In this case, Bill Gates is a candidate. He developed system software that helps many people in the business industry, making him my hero. He named this software Microsoft. He also showed to me that people could help others in many different ways.

In addition to creating Microsoft, he also was able to be partners with IBM. While working with IBM, he showed that partnership is what helps people in life. Bill Gates is hard working, shows excellent leadership, responsibility, and he makes a difference in the world. With these characteristics, Bill Gates is definitely a hero.

Bill Gates has shown inspiration to everyone. I know that Bill Gates is a hard-worker because he made amazing system software that changed the computer world forever. Also, he continues to update Microsoft even now to add new options and abilities to the software. In addition to being hard working, he shows excellent leadership because he is the creator of Microsoft and he was able to lead his company properly to make their product, Microsoft Windows, a success. Additionally, he shows responsibility to his company because if there is a big problem with Microsoft Windows, or if the server is down, he takes the blame and finds a way to fix the problem. He also shows responsibility to his customers because if a new version of Microsoft Windows is defective, he’ll give full refunds to his customers. His intelligence also inspired me because he attended Harvard University in 1973. Bill Gates is a candidate for being my hero and he won with his accomplishments.
