THE BOY WHO GAVE HIS HELP
As a boy being born in the Philippines because my parents were ministers and were helping the orphans out there. I was almost no born because my mom had a rare disease called ameba which is the leading cause of death in the Philippines. My mother was really dehydrated and really sick and when she went to the doctor where we lived at the time she advised my mom not to have me. While my father was hoping and praying to god that if he wanted another minister / preacher in this world and ill raise him. My parents remind me time and time again that I am a miracle baby. They told me they thought they lost multiple different times but I’m just happy to be in this world at this time. We moved to Florida when I was still a baby but we go back and forth to the Philippines to help and play with the orphans often.
While I was kid growing up I always hoped that I would go to the University of Florida and now I am but I don’t just want to be known for playing football being an all star college quarterback. I want people to look at me different and say there’s something different about this guy. This guy has a relationship with Jesus Christ and I have inspired people those who were ashamed about showing they were Christians and have also got some who didn’t believe in no one to believe in him. I feel that Jesus let me be born to set people on the right path so that’s what I’m trying to do. So since that’s what I’m trying to do I make my way back to the hometown. You know I could spend my time chilling with the girls or hanging with friend’s or even going to parties but I choose to do something better. I choose to go to the Philippines every year to hang out with the orphans out there. That may have many years to live but then there’s those that only have a few years, months or even days and that’s why I’m there to support and make their lives good while it lasts and hopefully I can start to get donations for them or maybe get more people down here to help them out. I would like that more than winning Heisman or winning the national championship.
While I was there I also work alongside volunteer doctors where health care is hard to come by, just adding another credential to my resume. While I was out there I cut out cists and performed circum sition . In April I also went and ministered to the Lancaster correctional institution in Trenton, Florida. I find myself in weird places getting about 400 emails a month to come speak at places.
I have also won a national championship my first year here. It was a good year but I wasn’t starting quarterback at that time. Chris Leak was the starting quarterback at that time but my 2008 year is a year to remember. We planned on going undefeated that was my plan but Ole Miss. Ruined that chance. I give out to them they came to play. Those last few series we weren’t our selves. Were usually the team that if we need a yard on third down. Well we usually can get that yard but I did keep my promise. I said “I promise you one thing and that is that something good will come out of this”, and something did we won every game after that including the national championship but I still wonder if Demarco Murray was there would have been the same but in football there’s no what ifs there’s only what happens and you get no second chances you just get chances to make things up. Also beating Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship but then I still got questions about that. In that game Alabama’s all American guard wasn’t there. He was on suspension. Oh and when I rallied my team to victory against Florida State University. I guess over all I had a great season but I still think I should have won Heisman but Jesus picked the better man at that time so it must have been him but I must have been the better man in the national championship if we beat them right. Oh and let’s not forget the stats not to be cocky or anything. Between my freshmen and junior years at the University of Florida I’ve attempted 651 passes and completed 430 of them. That means I completed 66% of my passes and had 6159 passing yards total. Oh and I carried the ball 453 times with a total amount of yards of 1928. So I was averaging a little over 4 yards a carry but to be exact 4.3 yards a carry. I broke Southeastern conference record for rushing yards for a quarterback and I tied the NCAA record for rushing yards for a quarterback. Oh n I also was the first quarterback to have over 20 rushing and passing touchdowns in one year and I forgot to mention 65 passing touchdowns between my freshmen and junior year and 43 rushing touchdowns. So I’d say to all those people who say I can’t be a or shouldn’t be the National Football League quarterback your wrong and I’m going to prove it to you when I get to the NFL and I’m the quarterback for one of teams. So I’d like to say to everyone that doesn’t know that I love the University of Florida and that I love being a gator.
Did I mention I won Heisman? Well I did. It was a real great moment and I will never forget that moment. This is to those people don’t what the Heisman is for or even who the Heisman was named after. The Heisman is given out every year once a year to worlds most outstanding player in the NCAA and it was named after John Heisman. I was the first sophomore to ever win it so I’d say that was an accomplishment. Oh and I also won the Maxwell award two years in a row. Again to those don’t know what it is. The Maxwell award is given out once a year to the college player of the year. This award was named after Robert W. Maxwell. Oh and to so you’re not confused who this is speaking. It’s your lovely friend Tim Tebow.
