2. How did bill Gates inspired me
At a young age, his passion for the endless possibilities of what computers were capable of doing led him to who he is today, the founder of Microsoft.
I was inspired by his passion and dedication to developing computer software programs and translated it into my own passion for filmography.
I realize that I won’t become a billionaire like him, but I hope to be similar to him in the sense of dedicating my life to creating and developing films or videos.
