Noe's Old BLog: Gifted Hands

"Dr. Ben Carson knows what it means to feel overwhelmed by life. As the son of a single mother from the inner city of Detroit, Carson was running with the wrong crowd and failing in school – feeling as though he had no way out. He could easily have spiraled downward, but something happened – and he chose another path. Driven by a passion for science and helping those less fortunate, Carson pursued an academic career, an unlikely aspiration for someone with his limited resources. Carson graduated from Detroit's Southwestern High School with honors, and then attended Yale University where he earned a degree in Psychology. From there he went to the University of Michigan Medical School where his interest shifted from psychology to neurosurgery. After medical school he went to work at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery when he was 33 years old. He is one of the most respected neurosurgeons in the world – separating Siamese twins and performing other medical miracles.
Dr. Ben Carson gives audiences an inspirational look at the philosophy that helped him meet life's obstacles and leap over them. He prescribes his personal formula for success. Carson demonstrates that maintaining discipline and exhibiting good character are at the core of true success on every level - while stressing the importance of using personal success to benefit others as well." cited
