Ben Carson went from being a poor student to being an academic and eventually to a medical school. As a physician, he became a director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at the age of 33 and made a name for himself with his distinguished twin work. He retired from medicine in 2013, and two years later entered politics, making a bid to become a member of the Republic for the U.S. President. Carson left the race in March 2016 and became Republican nominee for president Donald Trump, eventually getting elected as Secretary of State Trump's Department of Housing and Urban Development.
