LAYTON-Some Utah high school students have a science project that is generating more than praises and good grades．
They’re generating enough electricity through wind power to sustain（維持）a portable classroom，and that commitment to alternative energy has earned them an international honor．
The students at the Northern Utah Academy of Math，Engineering and Science installed a 400 watt turbine（渦輪機）they bought from Target on top of a portable classroom．Their goal：create an action plan to make classrooms energy—efficient．
“If it keeps spinning at l5 miles an hour wind，if we connected to the grid（輸電網(wǎng)）and sold it to California at 12 cents per kilowatt，it would pay us about$50 an hour, ”said student Jace Shuldberg．
They met their goal，and say they gained a new vision for the impact they could have on alternative energy．
“As science and engineering students，we are on the forefront of alternative energy solutions for how to deal with climate change," said student Delaney Burks.
Their plan and ability to communicate it has won them, an all expense-paid trip to the United Nations in New York for a summit on youth leadership. They’ll represent, not only Utah, but the nation, and share ideas.
"Maybe a school in India is near a coast and is looking toward tidal power. Here in Utah, we’re looking toward wind turbine and solar and possibly nuclear power," Shuldberg said.
"I’m so excited for them to meet students from Bulgaria and South Korea and Mongolia," said teacher Gayle Stucki. "I think it’s going to change their lives."
"We really go into it, and I think every person here has been affected by the research that we’ve done," Burks said. "We are talking about an idea that will happen, and that this is the further," Stucki said.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old,making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up,we lived a very hard life.We had little money,but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night,she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life,“Kemmons,you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen,I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again.Every day,my mother spoke to me in her gentle,loving voice,telling me that no matter what those doctors said,I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later,I returned to school—walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大蕭條)hit,my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support the both of us.At that moment,I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years,I experienced various levels of business success.But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child.That was too expensive for the average American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽車旅館)for families that would never charge extra for children.There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly,mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business,we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul,I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations.But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself,nothing can stop you.
