Ben Carson's Inspiring Story
Ben Carson’s Inspiring Story
How would you feel if your parents were divorced, you were bullied and excluded because of your skin color, was very poor , and was called the “class dummy”? Maybe you have experienced one of these things, but Ben Carson went through it all. Ben had a difficulty learning, but everyone learns differently, right? Ben Carson learns best by reading. He would read all the time and that helped him immensely in school. One day in the fifth grade, Ben surprised his classmates by answering a difficult question correctly; everyone was amazed. He realized that he wasn’t so dumb after all. Even though Ben was known as the “class dummy,” he always strived for excellence.

He separated four sets of Siamese twins - two successful and two unsuccessful. Even though two of the surgeries he performed with Siamese twins were unsuccessful, he knew there was a reason why. He trusted in God to guide him through his journey, to lead him to more opportunities. He trusted that God would always be by his side.
After everything he did, Ben would always have new opportunities, such as getting invited to conferences, meetings, talking to children at schools about his experiences, and he even has his own movie. With the grace of God, Ben Carson was able to accomplish unbelievable things in his life. Throughout his journey, he learned to never say never because he wants to be willing to do whatever he believes God wants him to do. A passage I found interesting was: “Anytime Ben and his brother complained about the TV restrictions, Sonya Carson firmly held her ground and insisted: ‘If you boys keep reading books, someday people will be watching you on television!’” (Lewis 25) I found this interesting because this actually came true. This is something I am most likely not going to forget. Another thing I found unforgettable is that Ben had so much faith in God, he knew he could accomplish anything he set his mind to. Ben Carson inspires me because he worked so hard to achieve his goals in life. Ben Carson is my inspiration and I hope to be like him when I grow
