Bill Gates Early Life and Education.

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. His father, William H. Gates II, is a prominent lawyer. His mother, Mary Gates, was a schoolteacher before she became a stay-at-home mom to raise Bill and his sister.

As a child, Gates had a competitive streak—he regularly played board games with his father and tracked his progress on the family’s mile-long driveway with chalk so he could see how much faster he could ride his bike each day.

He also loved to read—he went through all the books in the neighborhood library by the time he turned nine. When he wasn’t reading or riding his bike, Gates spent much of his time tinkering with electronics in his basement workshop. It was here that he built his first computer at age 13.

He later attended Lakeside School, an exclusive private school where he met Paul Allen, who would become his business partner at Microsoft. Gates excelled in math and science and scored 1590 out of 1600 on his SATs. He enrolled at Harvard University in 1973, but dropped out two years later to start Microsoft with Allen.
