When he was a little boy he threw rocks at cars but after he picked up the rock he got a book and read all about rocks. At his school every one called him a dummy but he said, "Okay, I am a dummy because I can't answer any questions in class."
But one day at school his teacher said to her class, "What is this rock called?" Ben knew what it was called but waited for someone else to put their hand up, but no one did. So he put his hand up and the kids said, "Look, the dummy has something to say!" They got ready for Ben to say something funny. But instead the teacher said, "That's right!" The kids were so surprised!
sWell guess what Ben Carson said the cool people are acting cool but the slow learner are better because they work hard. He told a story about this boy who was acting so cool that girls liked him. Then guess what happened? When they were both finished collage the slow learner (Ben Carson) had a really good job and the cool dude didn't even have a job at all!
Then Ben Carson went beyond and had earned trophies and had got married. But the cool dude got poorer and poorer. So you see you don't have to be cool you just need to be a person who works hard to reach your goal!
