Interpretative recount
The story begins in Detroit, where Ben Carson grew up in a poor family with low academic
performance. His mother, Sonya Carson, was a strong woman. She always supported Ben and
his brother to always try hard and not give up even though their lives were full of challenges.
With his strong spirit and support from his mother, Ben began to show his interest in learning,
especially in the sciences.
As an adult, Carson successfully entered the world of medicine and he began a career in
neurosurgery. One of his famous achievements was when he successfully performed an
operation to separate conjoined twins connected at the head. This surgery scene is one of the
most intense and emotional moments in the film, which shows Carson's talent and courage in
handling difficult and dangerous cases.
