=== Early Life and Education ===
=== Early Life and Education ===
Hall was born to Desmond Hall and Sonia Richards in [[St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica|St. Thomas, Jamaica]]. Both parents were [[Teacher|teachers]], [[Religion|religious]], and held a high regard for [[education]]. His father later emigrated to the [[United States]], and his mother married Lloyd Brown when he was 3 years old. He had a great relationship with his stepfather, and his father remained very active in his life.
Hall was born to Desmond Hall and Sonia Richards in St. Thomas, Jamaica. Both parents were teachers, religious, and held a high regard for education. His father later emigrated to the United States, and his mother married Lloyd Brown when he was 3 years old. He had a great relationship with his stepfather, and his father remained very active in his life.


He developed an interest in [[medicine]] at an early age from watching his ailing uncle's health rapidly decline. Hall felt powerless and wanted to help, vowing to be a [[Physician|doctor]] someday. However, the beloved uncle ultimately succumbed to complications related to [[sickle cell disease]]. He was even more determined now to attain his dreams. As a child, he enjoyed going to his family doctor, who was a miracle worker in his eyes. People from all facets of life would travel from near and far, patiently waiting for their turn in a waiting room that often spilled over into the street. Though many carried a smorgasbord of illnesses, they appeared transformed by the time they left. This type of care resonated with the young Hall, who had no doctors in his family.

Hall was voted most industrious for his creative contributions to his class in [[elementary school]]. However, he developed a moderate [[Speech disorder|speech impediment]] and could barely say his name. Though one of his teachers told him he wouldn't amount to anything, he was the only student in the class to pass the entrance examination for [[high school]] that year and the youngest in the school at only 9 years old. However, he was not quite physically or mentally prepared for high school nor was he ready to leave the comfort zone of his elementary school.

However, he was not quite physically or mentally prepared for high school nor was he ready to leave the comfort zone of his elementary school.


High school came with its share of challenges, and a progressive [[Stuttering|stutter]] combined with [[constitutional growth delay]] didn't help. He joined the [[Scouting|Boy Scouts]] to boost his confidence but later became withdrawn and fell to the bottom of the class. By this time, he was told by a family member to quit high school. However, his mother saw his plight and got him a copy of ''[[Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story|Gifted Hands]]'' by [[Ben Carson|Dr. Ben Carson]]. Hall immediately saw the similarities between his life and Dr. Carson's and developed a thirst for knowledge and a greater motivation to pursue his career dreams. By this time, he was certain he wanted to become a [[surgeon]] because of his creativity, and he loved working with his hands. He changed his life around and completed [[Morant Bay High School]], Jamaica, at 16 years old.

After high school, he was given the opportunity to help teach elementary school alongside his mother for one year. He later emigrated to the United States to live with his father, stepmother, and younger sister, who provided the resources and additional guidance to complete his education.

Hall did his best to run his father's used car business in [[Miami]] but ultimately traded it in for life and school in [[New York (state)|New York]]. He studied and tutored at [[York College, City University of New York|York College of the City University of New York]] and did [[real estate]] on [[Long Island]], NY, on the side. He made Dean's list, received several scholarships and awards for academic excellence and commitment to research including grants from the [[National Science Foundation]] and graduated with a [[Bachelor of Science]] with honors in [[Biology]] in 2001 under the tutelage of professor Dr. Jack Schlein.<ref name="R8">[https://tnj.com/keneth-newton-hall-md-fasmbs/ "Keneth Newton Hall, MD – TNJ"]</ref>
