Hello everyone, I am Bill Cosby. Some of you may heard my voice in the cartoons Fat Albert and Little Bill. I was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania in July 12 1937. My Father was in the Navy and away from home for months at a time so I would deliver groceries and shine shoes to help mom pay the bills.
When I was little enjoyed the Comedian Sid Caesar and I was regarded as a comedian as a child. When I was in high school I was in the track and football team captains. Also, I played basketball and baseball during my teen years. I tried to keep up in my school work rather than I dropped out and join the Navy like my dad. Later on, I earned my high school diploma in correspondence school and enroll myself in Temple University on an athletic scholarship.
I took a job at a neighborhood café as the bartender and I filled in for comedian who didn’t show up for there act and later on I was doing stand up comedy in other nightclubs. I told News Weekly that I’m trying to reach all the people. I left Temple Collage in 1962 to pursue my career as a comedian. In 1964, I received a Grammy honor as Best Comedian Album. From there, I got into television where I became well-known as one of television famous father figures in the Bill Cosby show. Other things that I did were cartoon voices for Fat Albert and Little Bill. I also appeared in the Electric Company because of my commitment to education. I believe education is the key to everyone’s future which is why I graduated in 1972 from Temple with a Ph.D. in education.
So kids keep your dreams alive by studying.
