Who is Ben Carson? (Early Life)
Ben Carson is a famed neurosurgeon, known for separating conjoined twins and performing great surgeries. He was brought up in a poor family in Detroit, Michigan by his mother and father, Sonya and Robert Carson. When Sonya was 13 years old, she sought a better life and married Robert, hoping to live well. He was kind for a while, but he became a different person and they split. Ben and his brother, Curtis, struggled as children with their mom working 2 or 3 jobs at a time and always being gone. He decided he wanted to be a doctor when he was waiting in a hospital and he saw the doctors rushing people around, working hard and accepting the challenge of helping others. Ben thought of his name coming over the PA, and then he decided he wanted to become a doctor.

Cameron K. - Wisconsin. I chose Ben Carson because he is an amazing neurosurgeon and a great role model. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the greatest medal any civilian can receive without being of any special status. I enjoy many things like my two dogs, watching movies, friends, talking, and food.
