Finishing the schedule of all day, I came back to my home and turned on the computer. The first thing that I use the computer every day is going to a social website. At there, I could check messages, glance at my friends' recent updates, chat with them, and so on. I can even play some games to relax. My life is closely related to this website.

The social website is Facebook. The founder Mark Zuckerburg is a hero in my life. He is an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur. When he was a student at Harvard, he founded Facebook with his roommates in 2004. At first, he just designed it for Harvard's students to recognize or keep in touch on the online platform. Then, the reaction was great, lots of students started to use Facebook. Mark Zuckerburg spread Facebook to other schools and it was very popular as well. Therefore, Facebook is spread over the whole world gradually, and now we can also use it in Asia.

I think Mark Zuckerburg is my hero because he created Facebook, which made our lives more convenient. First, when I grew up gradually, I lost my connection with some of my childhood friends, classmates in elementary school or junior high school. Facebook has a searching function and profile connecting system for friends to reconnect easily. Second, I always call my best friends or chat on the MSN with them, but sometimes I also want to know how the others are recently. Now, we can upload our recent situation at Facebook, we can know what our friends are doing. If friends have any problems, we can give him or her advice or send some cheerful messages by Facebook to support our friends. Third, we can get more news and interesting stories quickly by posting them on Facebook.

In conclusion, Mark Zuckerburg created Facebook to make people closer. I can keep in touch with my foreign friends and we can get more information from the whole world. People can invite their friends to take part in interesting or meaningful activities. I really appreciate him. As a result of so many inventions, we can contact with our friends easily and make more new friends. That is why he is the hero in my mind.
