My full-out hero is Bill Gates because he is a generous man that donates over a billion dollars to charity. That is only one reason he is one of my heroes.

He was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Both of his parents were both over achievers but that gave him the perserverance to create the best software company in the world.

He was shy and unsocial so it looked like he was going to become a lawyer like his dad. He also talented in math and logic. He first attended a public school. When he was 12 he enrolled in a private school called Lakeside.

By the late 1980's Gates had started to produce programs like, Microsoft Word and Excel. As soon as the programs were out in the public he was a thirty-one year old billionaire. With all his work and little to show for it other than money. Gates built a 40,000 square foot house, on Lake Washington. In 1994 he married a marketing executive named Melinda French.

After that however Gates changed the focus of the company from software to the internet. Then he quickly gained ground all over the net. He donates over a billion dollars to charity. That is why Bill Gates is my full out hero.
