Where did ben Carson find a positive role model?

Answer 1

Dr. Ben Carson was a good role model because he achieved success despite challenges and difficulties. He was considered unintelligent in school and lived off welfare for the greater part of his childhood. His father abandoned his mother, his brother and him at a very young age as well.

After enough effort and encouragement from his mother Sonya Carson, Ben Carson managed to be the top of his class for many grades. He went on full scholarship to Yale because of his intellect and abilities, but still faced problems there. He eventually overcame them and became a neurosurgeon at John Hopkins.

There, he preformed surgeries on many people that no one was willing to even try. He was the first doctor to successfully complete a hemispherectomy and with it, he saved many, many lives. Furthermore, Ben Carson was the first person to separate Siamese Twins, joined by the cranium, while keeping both patients alive.

Ben Carson's whole life story was about success despite failure and that is how he is a good role model. He proves how a good education and doing your best can get you far in life. Also, he does not brag about his accomplishments. He is a modest, intelligent and caring person. Many people believe that Dr. Ben Carson is the best neurosurgeon in the world, for good reason.

If you want to learn more, try reading his autobiography: "Gifted Hands."

Or, you can watch the documentary by the same name.
