"[H]is mother used to work cleaning beautiful homes. One day she asked him if he would rather live in those nice houses or the house in which he and his brother lived in Detroit. She told him that only he could decide the type of home he would eventually live in by how much he studied in school and the choices he made for his life.
"Thus motivated, Carson said he went from last in his class to first, and people who used to call him “dummy” started asking him for help with their schoolwork."
Dr. Carson (he became a brain surgeon) spent his childhood being poor in Detroit. Sharing similar experiences with people he will try to help in his new position - it can only be a good thing.
