Mike Hayes proved he was smart in his first year at college.In 2007,while he was a student at the University of Illinois,he came up with an idea to solve his tuition fee(学费)and college costs problem.Hayes thought everyone could afford to give him a penny.
He wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene.Hayes wanted each of the newspaper's readers to send him a penny.Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it.
“Just one penny,” Hayes said.“A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone.If everyone who is reading your paper looks around the room right now,there will be a 56 under a seat,or on the corner of the desk,or on the floor.That's all I'm asking.A penny from each of your readers.
In less than a month,the Many Pennies for Mike Fund(基金) had around 2.3 million pennies.Not everyone sent only a penny,many even sent dollars.Money was received from every state in the United States.So,Hayes reached his $28,000 target(目标) and went on to get money for his degree in food science from the University of Illinois.
Perhaps the last word is best left to his father,Bill Hayes:"When Mike first told me about his ideaI just laughed and said that I thought it was foolish—which shows you that he’s smarter than I am.”
