17­year­old Elexis Webster grew up homeless with cruel family members and serious health problems.But Webster has got over these difficulties to become an honor student at her high school.

The teen spent her childhood living in dugouts(防空洞)，cars，and any place where her family could find shelter.She was treated cruelly by her mother，a drug user，who left her and her sister alone without food for days.Her older brother disturbed her study too many tunes.Her poor living conditions led to her becoming extremely weak，which caused her to miss school often.

However，she got a 4.1 GPA in the exam，though many wouldn't expect her to have such a hard life.Surviving in the family in an environment like that，she was able to come out of it，and she knew she had to make the best of what happened to her.

At 14，her mother was put in prison for leaving Webster and her sister in a car in the middle of a schoolday.The two girls were placed in foster care(寄养所)with a woman whom Webster still lives with.She calls her “Mema”．

“Mema”，who the teen sees as her mom，encouraged Webster as she returned school again.Even after missing three years of school，Webster was able to be excellent.Now Webster has planned to attend University of California at Los Angeles and study physics.

“I got to a place where I was able to keep going and push for higher than a  4.1 and push to get into a really great college or university.I see success.I see happiness and I see peace，”she told KPIX 5.

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者)，who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super­sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing，she was offered a candy bar.However，her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning，“Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it？” With that in mind，Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.

With her dad's permission，she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth­friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently，she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners，which can reduce oral bacteria.

Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards，she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner，who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy.

As CanCandy's success grows，so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created，and she's also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

Meanwhile，with her parents' help，Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life，she wasn't driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination，it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
