As a child - and as an adult as well - Bill Gates was untidy. His mother made weekly clothing plans to help him. On Monday he might go to school in blue, on Tuesday in green, on W1. in brown, on Thursday in black, and so on. Bill Gates hated wasting time, both at work and during his spare time. Every year, he and his friends would go to summer camp. Bill liked soccer and other sports. One of his friends at summer camp said, "We all know that Bill is c2. than us. Even when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood."
