उत्तर
Richard Ebright’s mother was a gentle, independent, and strong lady who took care of herself and her child. She brought out Ebright’s full potential. She became his best friend, motivation, and inspiration. She would bring home friends for him, and she considered Richie as her whole life. She got him a children’s book called The Travels of Monarch X, which became a turning point in Ebright’s life and introduced him to a boundless world of science and technology. She took him on trips and bought him a telescope, a microscope, cameras, mounting material, and other equipment that helped him in many ways. She encouraged and inspired Ebright’s interest in learning. And that is how she acts as a significant person in Ebright’s success story.

The question he tried to answer was simple: What is the purpose of the twelve tiny gold spots on a monarch pupa? “Everyone assumed the spots were just ornamental,” Ebright said. To find the answer, Ebright and another excellent science student first had to build a device that showed that the spots were producing a hormone necessary for the butterfly’s full development. This project won Ebright first place in the county fair and entry into the International Science and Engineering Fair. There he won third place for zoology. He also got a chance to work during the summer at the entomology laboratory of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. |
