In one of the article I wrote last week about my favorite book, I wrote about my idol. He also turns out to be the author of my favorite book ‘gifted hands. His name is Dr. Ben Carson. He is an amazing person and a man who I would say had a heart of gold because all his life was about saving the life of others and making it better. Despite being a black and growing up in a racial discriminative place, he still had that pure heart that was willing to help others. He grew up with a single mom and his elder brother and his entire childhood wasn’t a bed of roses because he wasn’t lucky enough to be born with a silver spoon in the mouth. He is my idol because of who he is, his character and how he remained calm through all he faced and especially his achievements as a medical doctor amazed me. And most of all he was a seventh day Adventist just like me so it gives me more reasons to idolize and think highly of him.
If am given a chance to interview him then I would probably ask the questions below and expect similar answers as the ones I have written.
Good evening sir am so excited to have you here.
Good evening its such a pleasure to come for the interview.
The pleasure is mine sir, this is such an amazing moment you’re actually my idol. But is idolizing someone right in the seventh day Adventist church? Because am an Adventist too.
Okay thanks madam. I would like to tell you that idolizing a mortal is a sin because the first commandment in the book of exodus clearly tells us to worship no other God apart from him who created heavens and the earth. Making an earthly being your idol is a sin and I would love it if you took me as a friend because we are all equal in Gods side
Thanks so much doctor for this. I hope you don’t mind me asking about your personal life.
Sure go ahead please madam,
How did you start your medical career and ended up to be such a successful doctor?
Well its basically started after I saw the need to be someone helpful to the community. My life story isn’t such a pleasant one but I crawled and reached where I am today. Whenever I stumbled and fell, my mom always held me up and told me to continue. But above all it was through the power of the almighty God and the prayers and blessings of my mother that I am here today. I was a dumb child but some strict rules from my mom made me wise. She always told me ’Ben what the others can do, you can do better’.
That’s such a touching and amazing story doctor sir. I read some of you testimonies in the book your books think big and gifted hands. They inspired me a lot and actually I want to do medicine at the university.
That’s great the daughter. Work hard and pray with sincerity your dreams will surely come true.
Thanks Doc. What is the name of your wife?
She is called Candy Ben Carson.
When did you and how did you both meet?
I met Candy when I was at the university. She was a first year student when I was in third year,sahe was nice and jolly and actually everything a man would want in a woman. So after spending much time studying her and spending much time with her, I fell in love with her.
How many children do you have together?
We have three children.
Thanks so much for attending this interview,
