Benjamin Solomon Carson : Family Of Robert Carson And Sonya Copeland

On September eighteenth nineteen fifty-one, in Detroit, Michigan Benjamin Solomon Carson was born into the family of Robert Carson and Sonya Copeland. At the age of eight his parents divorced and his young mother was left struggling to provide for her two boys alone. Sonya took up as many as three jobs at a time to make ends meet (Doyle). With nothing much to their names, Ben and Curtis both grew up with no interest in their studies, Ben especially disliked them and had a hot temper to go along with his ignorance. Sonya decided that her children would not grow up uneducated and adopted a strict routine for the boys and made them study harder.

After he had graduated from Yale, Ben decided that he wanted to become a physician and went to the Medical School of the University of Michigan. While in medical school, he became interested in neurosurgery and specialized in this field receiving his M.D from the University.

I believe Ben Carson could do a great job as president.
