BILL OVERCOMES HIS BAD CHILDHOOD
Bill had a vary horibal childhood, he lived in the projects in philadelphia,pennsylvania.when Bill was 8 he lost his brother to a deadliy disease.his father was a havy drinker so he wasint around for maby weeks at a time. and at 9 his dad went and joined the navy so he became the man of the house and had to have a job as a shoe shiner.

BILL OVERCOMES HIS EDUCATION
Bill like me had a rough time in school.bill droped out of high school in the 12th grade because he didint see the pount with him being to old to compet in track and field.But after his 4 year enlistment in the navy he saw that school was in portent by how hard people in the navy strugled with thar education so he took night classes and later was exepted to tempal university. In his sophomore year he had his first paying gig at the bar 'the gaslight' and the word spred to new york,wich then he had to jugle his school work with his acts.he had to go to new york and back to temple somuch that he had to chouse comedy or school, he picked comedy.

bill overcomes racism
Bills first real show was ispy but the produsers wer thinking about fireing becose the public mite not wach it because thar was a black man as one of the mane charicters, but his co partner steped in and convinced them to ceep bill. And because of that his careere sored with him haveing the chartoons fat alburt and the cosby kids and little bill. also thars the cosby show and his many apperinces on the tonight show.

dispite his bad childhood, up and down education, and racism he became a succsesful actor, comedian, and teacher. and most of all my role modle.
