    To become one of the most influential people in the world, Gates had to have the work ethic and determination to get there. With great work ethic he started, as a child, with debugging computers for local people in his town (“Gates, William Henry, III” 1). This also started his love for computers, and as he researched and started figuring computers out he became more skillful with them. After he started debugging computers, he began to dabble in writing software programs, his first program that he and his friends made was a computerized payroll system for his high school (“Gates, Bill” 1). He and his friends then proceeded to make more complicated programs, such as Traf-O-Data, which was a traffic counting program that Gates and his partner Paul Allen sold to the city they lived in for $20,000 when they were just fifteen years old (“William H. Gates” 1).…

He was sent to a school by the name of Lakeside, here is where he began to show his interest in computer technology. At the age of thirteen, Gates violated school rules by creating his first software, a tic-tac-toe game, during “computer time” in class. In his attendance at lakeside, he built up a bad reputation by disregarding the rules and although he was socially awkward, and extremely opinionated, he managed to find a friend who shared the same interests in computer technology, Paul Allen. Allen became great friends with Gates, and in 1971 he even co-created their first company called TRAF-O-DATA. Their Company “specialized in monitoring and analyzing traffic statistics in cities and countries”(Berbagi). Their company did well and made $20,00 the first year, but then quickly fell due to customers discovering his age of 17. Gates soon graduated from Lakeside in 1973, with a surplus of knowledge. It is rumored that he scored a 1590 out of 1600 points on his SAT (Leaders of the information age). In later months, Bill Gates attended Harvard University with Allen, and began a programming language called BASIC. However, this…
