The Calvert-FSK Scholars saw Ben Carson, the world renowned brain surgeon, speak at Johns Hopkins medical campus. He delivered a very powerful message to the attendees by telling us about how he got to where he is today, and he even told us about some of the brain surgeries he has performed.
His journey to get to the top is an uplifting story that is also featured in his autobiography, Gifted Hands. He was at the bottom of his class until his mother inspired him to work harder, and he eventually climbed to the top of his class. He did so well that he ended up attending Yale for college to get a medical degree. He finished his medical courses after 11 hard years.
His life story showed the Calvert-FSK Scholars that with hard work, anything can be accomplished. He told us that when you fulfill your potential, you can become anything you want to be. Attending this event was a great experience, and the Calvert-FSK Scholars benefited greatly from it.
