Throughout my senior year in high school I have read a multitude of books in class and independently. I have read A Brave New World and Streetcar Named Desire in class with my peers. Independently I have read the book Gifted Hands by Ben Carson. Most of these books were related to me directly and others were related to general world and society around me.
The book Gifted Hands is a great way for me to gain knowledge about the medical field and how to work hard to gain admission into medical school. Gifted Hands is a book written by Ben Carson which discusses his life as a surgeon and his autobiography. He discusses his hardships and the difficulties he went through to become a world class neurosurgeon that performed some of the world’s most …show more content…
He would often fail many classes and would be made fun of as the stupid student in class. He started to become more arrogant as a child and this eventually lead to his mother teaching him how study hard and cutting down on television. Ben Carson had a tough childhood and was not smart at a young age. His mother often times had to push him to study and once Ben got the hang of it he was off. Ben’s grades started to increase and he was slowly by slowly becoming smarter and at the end of 8th grade was at the top of his class for academics. During the presentation of this award, one of the teacher’s made a racist comment over the microphone and this got me thinking about racism back then.

After realizing and seeing the hardships that Ben Carson went through, the hardships that I go through is nothing compared to him.

In this entry I read a different part of the book and therefore I am creating a new post. Ben Carson went through many obstacles growing up and similarly I am considered fortunate compared to him and therefore should have the capability of achieving equal or more than he did. Ben Carson attended Yale University and went on to attend the University of Michigan Medical school. I am in a similar place in my life where I have to choose a college to attend and then pursue a major and a career. Ben Carson worked exceptionally hard during his undergraduate years to achieve where he is today. I want to work as hard as Ben Carson did in college and make sure to fulfill my goal of becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon. Ben Carson worked tirelessly at Yale to get a place at Michigan School of Medicine and worked even harder to become the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Ben Carson is one person I look up to and as I was reading this book it hit me multiple times that I should be working as hard as he did so I can achieve my goals. Nothing in life comes for free. We have to work effortlessly toward everything we want to achieve. In order to work
