and friends. He was competitive and ambitious, always striving to excel
and achieve his goals.
Bill Gates attended a private school called Lakeside School, where he
discovered his passion for programming. He and his friend Paul Allen
learned how to use a computer terminal that was connected to a mainframe
computer at the University of Washington. They spent hours writing and
debugging code, creating their own games and applications. They also
formed a club called the Lakeside Programmers Group, where they offered
their programming skills to various companies and organizations123
Bill Gates was also involved in other activities and hobbies as a kid. He

also reprogrammed the school’s class scheduling system and
wrote a payroll program for a local company. He developed a
passion for programming and a vision for the future of personal
computers.
 Bill Gates was a college dropout. He enrolled at Harvard
University in 1973, but he dropped out two years later to pursue
his dream of building a software company with his friend Paul
Allen. They founded Microsoft in 1975 and started developing
software for the Altair 8800, one of the first microcomputers.
They also created the programming language BASIC, which
became popular among hobbyists and professionals.
 Bill Gates became one of the richest men in the world and one
of the most generous philanthropists. He amassed a fortune of
over $100 billion from his shares and investments in Microsoft
and other companies. He also donated or sold most of his stock
in Microsoft and re-invested it into his charity foundation and
startup businesses. He and his wife Melinda established the Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000, which focuses on global
health and development, education, and climate change. They
have given away more than $50 billion to various causes and
