Ben Carson...

Ben Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan. His mum Sonya dropped out of school at the young age of 8 or 9 hardly being able to read. A few years after at the age of 13, she was married. Unfortunately Sonya and her husband divorced when Ben was 8 and left Sonya to raise the boys on her own. Sonya worked 2 or 3 hobs to provide for her boys.

In school the boys were going father and father down in their school work. In the fifth grade his classmates called him a dummie because he never answered any questions. When his mother saw his grades she limited his T.V times and didn’t let him play outside until he finished his homework. She made him read two books a week and have him write a written report. After doing this is turned his life around.

In science class one day his teacher brang out a rock that Ben had been learning about at home. The teacher asked anyone who knew what it was called and Ben put his hand up and astonished his classmates. He realised that he wasn’t dum. At the end of the year he was at the top of the class. He was determined to become a physician but he had to learn to control his anger.

On Tuesday 7th March we went to telstra clear to see him and from his photos he looked different. He was much older. He was the first person successfully to enjoin to babies and they were still alive. He was a very good inspiration to us and the little ones.
