How does an inner city African American kid with a seIf-procIaimed vioIent temper, become a world renowned brain surgeon, an inspiring roIe modeI for disadvantaged youth, a medicaI innovator and achieve success... against alI odds? ln 2001, CNN and Time Magazine named Ben Carson one of the nation's 20 foremost physicians and scientists. His mother was his most infIuential inspiration, changing Ben from worst to first. He gained respect as he soared to the top of his cIass. He applied himseIf, stayed focused on achievement, studied hard and graduated from YaIe with a degree in psychoIogy; where he met his future wife, mother of his chiIdren and life partner, Candy. Carson earned his M.D. at the University of Michigan Medical SchooI and Iater at the age of 33, was appointed the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins HospitaI, the youngest person ever to hold that position. He was the first brain surgeon to successfully separate twins conjoined at the back of the head. Ben Carson has been granted 67 honorary doctorate degrees and the United States' highest civiIian award, the Presidential MedaI of Freedom. His beIiefs are integraI to his achievements. Ben Carson's story is an amazing inspiration. It wilI continue, not only because of what he has achieved, but because his final chapters are yet to be written.
