He went back to school and the kid once regarded as “The Dumbest Person in the World”, identified rock samples which put that name to rest and established him as academically elite. He became a pediatric neurosurgeon who did innovative things. He separated child Siamese twins, and he also separated adult Siamese twins. Those seem like quite a feat for the “Dumbest Person in the World”. He did what no one thought he could, but people feel the same way once again as he is running for President and he is not a politician.

Carson is looking to capitalize on his ability to overcome, and he is also looking to use his beliefs to help him attain presidency. He has the chance to overcome one more time, and this time it is to be the next
