Ben Carson 1990
Carson, Ben. Ben Carson. Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1990.
Ben Carson was a hero because he overcame great problems. He was poor, he had no dad at
home, his mother worked two jobs, and Ben did not do well in elementary school. It seemed
like Ben would be poor his whole life. Ben's mother made him believe that he would be
great. Ben and his brother worked very hard at school. Ben became a great doctor. Ben
helped many people get well. Ben helped many people believe that they could do great
things.
Ben is special because he was raised in a very poor place in Detroit where many people
never learn anything. Ben is special because he had to work very hard. Ben was different
than many people he grew up with because he believed what his Mom told him. Ben is famous
because he is a great doctor.
Ben was the worst student in his fifth grade class. Most of the other children made fun
of him. They laughed at his grades. Ben thought he was dumb and could never learn. His
Mom told him he would be great. His Mom told him that he had to work hard. His Mom told
him he could always do better than he thought that he could do. His Mom worked very hard
for Ben. His Mom wanted him to work very hard for her.
When Ben was making bad grades in school, his Mom would let him watch only three TV shows
a week. His Mom also made him read two books a week and write book reports for her. Ben
did not like this at first. Ben began to like to read. Ben began doing better in school.
Ben liked making good grades. 
Ben had a real bad temper. He got into fights and tried to stab his best friend. This
scared Ben. Ben prayed that God would help him lose his temper. Ben believed God would
help him. After this prayer Ben knew he would never lose his temper again. Ben had faith
and self control.
I would ask Ben how he knew that God could help him lose his temper. I would ask him this
because it had to be hard for him to lose his temper since so many people teased him and
laughed at him. I would ask him this because it helped him become a great person.
