I don’t remember how I found out about Bill Gates but I remembered him in College and Career class. Then I remembered Bill Gates because i was around a bunch of computers. So I decided I would select him in this class. I think he is a good hero because he invented Microsoft which is something that is very good in technology. I picked him because he is doing stuff with computers and I am in College and Career class.

Bill Gates is the inventor of Microsoft. He is very smart and good with computers. By the late 1980’s, Gates and Allen were producing programs like Microsoft Word and Excel, and when the company went public in 1986, Gates became a 31-year-old billionaire. With the release of Windows ’95 in August of that year, they sold 7 million copies in the first six months. Due to the fact that he is very intelligent, he has made billions off of his invention.

He is a good hero for anybody that is good or likes computers. When Bill was a child he probably dreamed of inventing something that many people would have. I think everybody would like to invent something and get a lot of money from it. However, Bill Gates stuck to that idea and changed his life. Mostly everybody can dream of such success but few will actually work for it.

Bill Gates made a huge difference in the communities and public. He is the co-founder of Microsoft and is devoted to humanitarian causes around the world. He pretty much made the technology today because everything uses a computer which is made by Microsoft. The xbox 360 is made by Microsoft so it is something the kids use not only adults use Microsoft. He has made a big difference in his life and ours. I think anybody would want to be like him.

In order for me to live the life the life Bill Gates does I would first have to be good with computers and technology. Then in high school I would take a laptop academy and advanced computer classes. After that I would have to get in a really good college and then find a team of really smart people. Once I have everything together I would need a plan for the next best thing. Once I have a plan I would start working with my team and perfect my invention. After you invent something that great you would never have to work because you are a billionaire or millionaire. So once you do something that makes a big difference in people's lives, then life is easy.
