Personal computers, or PCs, are an important part of our everyday lives. Many people
cannot imagine life without them. One of the most important people in making these machines
work is Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was born in 1955 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents
sent him to a private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in
the eight grade, they were writing programs for business computers and making money.
In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They bought
he would get over his obsession with computer and become a lawyer like his father. Two years
later, Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen. They
worked eighteen hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the program
that would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company called
Microsoft to sell their product.
Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later
and started his own company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the
age of thirty-four, Gates was the youngest billionaire in the history of the United States. He was
the “King of Software”. He achieved his success with a lot of hard work. For more than ten
years, he worked sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. He had a dream and the will to
succeed. By 1997, he was the richest man in the United States.
