Ben Carson

Guess what!,

yesterday the year 5 - 8 students of Pt England school went to the "Telstra Clear Stadium" in Manukau to see Dr Ben Carson.

Ben Carson was one of the first doctors to separate a pair of Siamese twins successfully. A 70 member surgical team and Dr Ben Carson worked hard for 22 hours to complete the operation.

At the end the twins were successfully separate. Dr Ben Carson is now

one of the worlds famous doctors.

So around 10.30 am our buses started to arrive to take us to Manukau. In each buss there had to be two classes in each buss so that we could all try to fit in. There were 4 buses but we all couldn't fit in. We were the last class and all the buses were full. Mrs Nua ( our Team leader) had to then organize for another buss. It was so not cool waiting outside in front of our school for our buss to arrive.

Finally the bus arrived and we all hoped on and off we went. It was not long before we got there. The stadium was kind of big and we saw lots of other kids from different schools there.

We all then started to walk in the stadium and i looked around and it was full of students from other schools and some adults.

When we were all seated the show finally started a man walked onto the stage and introduce himself. He then told us a little bit about him and how he loved to read bo

oks, It was so funny when he was explaining a story about him when he was little.

Then it was time to see "Dr Ben Carson" and he walked onto the stage and everyone was clapping!.. he told us all about his life. But it was very amazing how he told his story and how reading books made him become the surgeon that

he is now. He then told us about the surgery he did on the two twins. That was cool as well.

After Ben Carson told us about himself we the show ended with the duffy song and everybody was singing. It was then time to leave and we all made our way outside. We were told that when we go out side that we have grab a up and go and a fruit when we leave.

We sat out side the stadium and waited for our buss, it then soon arrived and off we went back to school.

What did I think of the show?? well I think that it is amazing that reading books can really change your life and it was awesome to see Ben Carson for real!!
