Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft, the world’s largest PC software company. He is
among the richest people in the world. Bill Gates’ interest in computers started when he was
a teenager. After high school, he was accepted to several top colleges in the USA: Harvard,
Yale, and Princeton. He chose to go to Harvard to study law. At Harvard, he focused more
on his interest in computers than on coursework. He often relaxed by playing video games in
Harvard’s computer lab. He left Harvard before graduating because he wanted to open a
software company with his friend Paul Allen. However, he later said, ‛I don’t think dropping
out is a good idea.’ In 2007, he received an honorary degree from Harvard. He began his
speech by saying this to his father in the audience. ‛I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to
say this: Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.’ Bill Gates is no longer
working full time for Microsoft. He is now, with his wife, running The Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation which aims to improve healthcare, reduce poverty, and promote education
around the world.
