The Perils of Neglecting Education: A Lesson from Ben Carson's Journey


Education stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity, offering individuals the tools they need to navigate the complexities of life and achieve their full potential. However, the absence of education can lead down a path filled with obstacles, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled dreams.


One powerful example of the dangers of neglecting education can be found in the life story of Dr. Ben Carson. Growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood with limited resources and opportunities, Dr. Carson faced numerous challenges early in life. Without access to quality education and guidance, he struggled academically and found himself on a trajectory towards a life of poverty and despair.


However, a pivotal moment came when Dr. Carson's mother intervened, recognizing the importance of education in shaping her son's future. Through her unwavering support and determination, she instilled in him a love for learning and inspired him to overcome his academic struggles. With renewed focus and determination, Dr. Carson excelled in school, eventually earning a scholarship to Yale University and pursuing a career in medicine.


Dr. Carson's remarkable journey serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of education. Without the intervention and guidance he received, he could have easily become another statistic, trapped in a cycle of poverty and limited opportunities. Instead, he defied the odds, proving that with access to education and the right support system, anything is possible.


In conclusion, the dangers of not getting educated are far-reaching and profound. Without the necessary skills, knowledge, and opportunities that education provides, individuals risk being marginalized, trapped in a cycle of poverty, and unable to reach their full potential. The story of Dr. Ben Carson serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of education and the importance of investing in the future of our youth.

Stepping Up Response to Curb Infectious Diseases in Nigeria

 Abuja - In Nigeria, vulnerable populations, especially those in underserved communities, remain at high risk of infectious diseases, including Lassa fever—an acute viral hemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus. Endemic in Nigeria, Lassa fever continues to affect thousands annually, with the dry season (December–April) being the peak transmission period. In 2024, the disease has been particularly severe, with 1,059 confirmed cases reported across 28 states, resulting in 175 deaths (16.6% case fatality rate). Alarmingly, 35 healthcare workers have been infected during the outbreak, underscoring the urgent need for robust infection prevention measures. The Lassa virus is primarily transmitted to humans through exposure to food or household items contaminated with the urine or feces of infected Mastomys rats. Secondary transmission can occur through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals, posing significant risks to healthcare and laboratory workers who la...

According to a study, thousands of South Asian persons in the United Kingdom may receive erroneous type 2 diabetes tests.

Diabetes UK, research type 2 diabetes. New research, which will be discussed tomorrow at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2024, has uncovered a genetic variation that is almost unique to people of South Asian descent and impacts the accuracy of the diabetes haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test. This test measures the average blood sugar level during the past two to three months. It is critical for diagnosing type 2 diabetes, tracking prediabetes, and determining diabetic management. South Asians with this genetic variation may have artificially low HbA1c values, delaying the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Dr Miriam Samuel of Queen Mary University London and colleagues in the Genes & Health Research Team identified a genetic variant that is found in 7.6 percent of people of South Asian heritage but is rare in other ethnicities using genetic and health data from the Genes & Health study (over 60,000 individuals of Bangladeshi or Pakistani ethnicity living in England) and the UK...
