Father Qeorge dements Famed neurosurgeon motivates HPU freshmen By CAROLE BOSTON WEATHER FORD High Point Correspondent The product of a broken home. Dr Benjamin "Ben" Carson Sr. grew up in dire poverty, lacked motivation, had poor grades and had a pathological temper that * might have landed him in jail. But he defied the odds and became an internationally known neurosur geon. Carson, the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, spoke to freshmen during High Point University's orientation pro gram. He attributes his success to his trust in a divine power, unwaver ing faith in his own abilities and a strong will to succeed. In grade school, however, he was called "Dummy" and he bragged about earning a "D" on a math test. Fortunately, his mother intervened and impressed upon her two sons the importance of education. "God gave her wisdom," Carson said, "to turn off the TV set. She let us watch only two or three TV pro grams during the week. [We) read two books apiece from the Detroit Public Library and [had to] submit her a writ ten book report." T he brothers had no inkling that their moth er. who had a third grade edu cation. c,o u 1 d n' t read. Nevertheless, she instilled in them a love of books and reading. She had a vision for her sons and convinced them that they could make some thing of their lives. Under his mother's strict guid ance. Carson's grades improved, and within a year-and-a-half. he was at the top of his class. "What does that say about expectations?" he asked. "People tend to live up to expec tations or down to expectations." he explained. "That's why it's important to set your standards high." Carson received a full scholar ship to Yale University and gradu ated from the University of Michigan Medical School. In 1984. when he was 33. he became director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Medical Institution. He is also an associate professor at Hopkins School of Medicine. In 1987 Carson was the primary neurosurgeon among the 70-mem ber medical team that successfully separated 7-month-old Siamese twin boy s. They were joined at the back of their heads and shared the major cerebral blood drainage sys tem. The procedure took 22 hours and is believed to be the first time that hypothermia ? the deliberate lowering of body temperature ? was coupled w ith circulatory bypass and deliberate cardiac arrest to spare brain tissue for such a proce dure. Carson is llip rpcinipnt of manv r. ? J awards. including eight honorary doctorate degrees and the Horatio Alger Award He is the author of two books, "(iilted Hands" and "Think Big." Through his books and speeches he fulfills his mission to inspire peo ple to use their intellectual potential to succeed in life. Toward that end. he is president of the LISA Scholars Fund, which encourages academic excellence in young Americans of all backgrounds.
