As a child, Carl Allamby had one dream - to become a doctor. At that time, that seemed impossible.⁠

His childhood was tough. For days and even weeks, his family of eight went without lights, gas or water at their home in East Cleveland, OH.⁠

After finishing high school, he opened his own small business - Allamby’s Auto Service. Carl worked in that business for 25 years but he never forgot his childhood dream. In 2010, he began pre-med classes and in 2015, he enrolled into Medical School at Northeast Ohio Medical University.⁠

At the age of 47, he graduated from the university. And earlier this year, already 51-years old, he started his first job as an attending physician at Cleveland Clinic’s Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights, OH.⁠

"I feel we all have the opportunity to make our lives better. If you want it, go after it. Don’t give up," Carl advises.⁠
