Bill Gates

My hero is Bill Gates because of the fact that even though he is the richest person alive but he is still working to make people's lives easier. Bill gates also own a charitable foundation called "BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION". He is also the Chairman of the Microsoft Corporation. And continuing to make more Windows software to this day.

Bill Gates has revolutionized the computer world. He is the founder of Microsoft, a company which has made advances on web browsing and word processing programs. He is best known for his Windows applications. His research foundation is devoted to finding cures for diseases, improving learning opportunities for people, schlorships, etc..... He has put in more than 28 billion to support this organization with his wife Melinda Gates. And he continues to devote himself to his company and organization.

Bill Gates was born in Seattle, WA. On Oct. 28, 1955. He lived with his two sisters (Kristi, and Libby), his father and his late mother. His father William H. Gates II was an attorney in Seattle. His mother was a schoolteacher at the University of Washington regent. And she was also the chairwoman of United Way Int. His grandfather J. W. Maxwell was a national bank president. So you can see that the richest man in the world was also wealthy in his childhood.

Bill Gates, still up and running, is now working on several projects. One is due in 2007 called Orcas. Orcas is a Visual Studio application. Something you will hear about is the third sequel to the popular game Halo. There is a rumor of Bill Gates planning to take an easier job in 2008, instead of working full time.

Bill Gates continues to make people’s lives easier with more technology. But we all hope that the foundation that he and his wife own, will prove to be successful.
