Bill Gates

“Everyone needs a coach.” This was one of Bill’s famous quotes. This goes to show that he is an objective person just like a coach giving feedback to people. In this essay we will learn about Bill’s childhood, his schooling and lastly his success.

Bill was born on October 18, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. As a child Bill loved to play board games and was very competitive. Bill enjoyed math and he loved to read science fiction books. When he was 13 his parents sent Bill to Private Lakeside School. This is when he was first introduced to the teletype machine. In school he also started a computer club and one of the members in Bills group was a 14 year old boy named Paul Allen. Paul and bill became great friends over the years and which led them to business partners.

During this time he was at the Lakeside he had access to computers that he normally would not have. But the computers were expensive basically $40 per hour. Bill at that time did not have that much so he and his friend paul allen hacked computers and were able to use the computers for extended periods of time. Unfortunately the computer company found out about them and they were banned from using the computers. Couple months passed and Bill and Paul made a computer club that would fix bugs in computers and their first call they got was from the same computer company that banned them.

At the same time that Bill was attending Harvard University in 1974, the Altair 8800 came out. When Bill heard about this he instantly called his friend Paul saying this was their opportunity to share their program. So they called the creators of the Altair 8800, saying that they had a software program to share with them. The software company gave them one month to present this program to them. So Bill went to work immediately and finished it while they were on the way there.  They didn’t test it until they arrived. To their surprise it worked flawlessly. This was Bill’s first break and after that it was history.

The reason why I chose Bill Gates is because I have always wondered how the person that created my computer software started this journey and when I learned that he was an entrepreneur, I knew this would be something that would interest me and spark my interest.
