  4. I chose Benjamin Carson. Ben Carson is a famous African American pediatric neurosugeon. We are alike in many ways. We both were born in Michigan. We both share common interests in reading, psychaitry, and surgery. We both enjoy these things alot. He also has a brother as a sibling except he is the oldest and I am the youngest.
    We are different because I've never really had problems in school as far as being capable of doing the work. He was raised by his mother in a single parent home. I am being raised by my grandparents with the help of my dad. I've always knew that I wanted to be some sort of surgeon. Ben didn't know he wanted to be a surgeon until he got in college and changed his major a couple of times.
