[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 690839, member: 18516"] While Ben Carson's is a great success story there was no guarantee that his life would be successful. I know families that have more than one child, all raised with the same morals and values of knowing right from wrong and having a strong work ethic modeled for them. All the kids but one are successful. My son is an only child and was raised in home with strong moral values. Husband and I both worked and set a good example of having a strong work ethic. My son had the benefit of strong male role models in uncles as well as family friends. My son is also extremely bright, very high IQ and yet his life is out of control. There are always many dynamics to be considered. In my case genetics play a big role. My son turned out just like his bio-father and bio-father dropped out of sons life when he had just turned 4. Bio-father was in my sons life very little in those 4 years and there really was no length of time for bio-father to be any kind of influence and yet he turned out just like him. Even after all the dynamics are considered, sometimes it just is what it is. [/QUOTE]
