Interesting fact: American schools, especially in the days of the one-room schoolhouse, used to REQUIRE LOTS OF MEMORIZATION. My grandfather, at old age, could recite scores of poems and parts of literature, and songs and more from his school days. (He was born 1898.)

Benjamin Carson's mother actually "homeschooled", she just didn't know that's what she was doing. She was an amazing woman and mother and he knows he was blessed to have her. ~jg

Dr. Benjamin Carson, who recently retired as the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, appeared on The Glenn Beck Program Tuesday with guest host Kirk Cameron to discuss the importance of education in shaping culture, and what individuals can do to make a difference.

Having grown up in a single parent home in dire poverty, Carson specifically revealed one childhood hobby that he partially credits with shaping him into the inspirational and influential man he is today, by way of the confidence it gave him.

“One of the things that I used to do is, I used to love to memorize things. I memorized poems, memorized Bible verses,” he said. “And other people didn’t know those things, and it began to make me feel that there was something special about me, and that I could learn things.”

He continued: “Even though I [probably] couldn’t learn them better than anybody else, I thought I could. And it makes a very big difference, what you actually think you can do.”
