Dr Ben Carson By Asmah

Dr Ben Carson Trip

Hooray! We are going to see Dr Ben Carson at the Telstra Clear Manukau Events Centre. We arrived in a bendy bus. When we arrived everyone was surprised about how many schools there were at the Telstra Clear Manukau Events Centre. After that we were sitting on the grass and waited about 45 minutes. The security guard led us into the theatre. The theatre was huge! After that we sat on chairs and listened to a man named Henry. He started his speech with amazing expression. He told his story about when he discovered a book. When he went to the library he thought a book that he wanted to borrow was a DVD. Henry was in love with the librarian. Henry described
her as having big fat lips, big eyes and long black hair. Then he introduced Dr Ben Carson to us. He talked about when he was young and that he grew up in a very poor family in America. When he finished high school he went to medical school. Ben was a Neuro surgeon, (a brain surgeon). He told us, to think big mean and it meant
T- Talented
H- Honest
I- Intelligent
N- Nice
K- Knowledge
B- Books
I- Interactive
G- God

After that we went out and had a free apple and free drink. I felt fantastic after having a drink and apple. I enjoyed my time listening to Dr Ben Carson.
