Why Is Ben Carson Impossible
Ben Carson: The Neurosurgeon Who Did the Impossible
By: Jay Vaghela
“You can do anything anyone else can do, except you can do it better”. This was what Ben Carson’s mom, Sonya Carson always used to say. This quote led to extraordinary things, including Ben Carsons success. Life was not so simple for Ben, living with anger problems, feeling lost and bullies in every school he went to. He still persevered and used his brain that god gave him to be the first to successfully separate conjoined twins. Doing this he is now considered the best neurosurgeon in the world.

He asked Candy, (his future wife) to help him. With Candy and his moms help he was determined to pass the test.
