KCPE Busia top candidate wants to become a neurosurgeon.

Michael Wandera, 14, from little known Nasira Primary School in Busibwabo ward got 438 marks.

He said he was motivated by world’s renowned neurosurgeon, Ben Carson.

“I was moved by Carson’s book Think Big. This has encouraged me to pursue his profession to its logical conclusion. The sky is the limit,” he said.

Ben Carson is vying for the Republican Presidential ticket in US 2016 polls.

Wandera said his mother died in 2010, and he takes care of his siblings when he is not in school.
