Ben Carson

We read this book together as a family.  My kids fell in love with Ben Carson and with the idea of reading.  A few of them even want to be neurosurgeons when they grow up.  We all hope that he runs for president.

I'm  glad that this book explains his life and all the things that he went through to get where he got.  He had to study long and hard to become one of the best neuro surgeons in the world and to go to Yale.  I especially loved how his Mom told him that they would spend all of their freetime reading and no more TV.  He learned to love learning and reading.  If only I can be this inspirational for my own kids.
