Since the age of 13 he created several programs some that included hacking his school’s computer system, and some for his school, which included one that was able to collect every teacher’s attendance. After attending Harvard University for two years he dropped out with his high school alongside classmate Paul Allen, who attended Washington State University. Three traits that make Bill Gates worthy to be called a hero are his passion for what he does, fearless despite his drastic decision to drop out of college, and his commitment to give back to people who are in need.
