Carson's father, a part-time preacher and factory worker, walked out when Ben was 8, leaving his mother, Sonya, to support Ben and his older brother, Curtis.
We lived in the inner city, single parent home, dire poverty, my mother only had a third grade education. I was perhaps the worst student you've ever seen. I thought I was really stupid. All my classmates and teachers agreed, and my nickname was "Dummy."
I did get into fights, I would
injure people. I tried to hit
my mother in the head with
a hammer. I would just
become irrational because
I would get so angry. It all
culminated one day when --
Another youngster angered me,
and I had a large camping knife
and I tried to stab him in the abdomen,
and fortunately he had on a large metal
belt buckle under his clothing and the
knife blade struck with such force that it
broke and he fled in terror. But, I was
more terrified as I recognized that I
was trying to kill somebody over nothing.
Fortunately I continued to hold onto that dream and, you know, when I was in the fifth grade, my mother put us on this reading program and said we had to read two books a piece from the Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports, which she couldn't read, but we didn't know that, and she'd put a little check mark on them and act like she was reading them.
As one of the world's leading pediatric neurosurgeons, Carson has developed and performed several surgical procedures for children suffering from brain tumors and chronic seizures.
''Reading was the transforming thing for me, '' he recalls. ''I read about inventors and engineers and men like Booker T. Washington and Abraham Lincoln who took themselves from nowhere, through reading, to become great men.'
I hated it for the first several weeks, but then all of a sudden, I started to enjoy it because we had no money, but between the covers of those books, I could go anyplace, I could be anybody, I could do anything. And, I began to learn how to use my imagination more because it doesn't really require a lot of imagination to watch television, but it does to read.
