Dr. Benjamin Carson journeyed from grinding poverty in inner-city Detroit to fame as a gifted neurosurgeon. He attributes his success to the incredible example of his mother Sonya, who raised him and his brother alone after their father abandoned the family. Working three jobs at a time and literally saving every penny she could, Sonya not only held the family together, she helped her sons to excel in school despite having received only a third-grade education herself. 

After praying for guidance, Dr. Carson's mother decided to radically limit television and assign extra work: "We were to read two books a week from the Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports. Which she couldn't read. But we didn't know that," wrote Dr. Carson in The Big Picture. It worked. Eight-year-old Ben Carson discovered he actually loved learning and went from the bottom of his class to the top. He worked his way on to Yale and the University of Michigan Medical School, eventually becoming Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at the age of thirty-three. Before the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, he was best known for his pioneering work separating conjoined twins fused at the skull.

Dr. Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008.
