Tim Tebow

So I figured I'd do something different. Instead of talking about me and my life and boring everyone, I'd figure I'd tell you all about my favorite football player. TIM TEBOW! I like Tim Tebow alot and as I wrote above he is my favorite football player. And it has nothing to do with him being famous and making alot of money. Although, if he wasn't famous, I doubt I would of heard of him. But anyway..the reason I like him is because he is a nice guy. I never met him, but he seems nice and caring. Also he is a Christian. He stands up for what he believes in. He is strong in his faith. He isn't afraid to share his faith and wear Bible Verses on patches under his eyes or pray with other teammates. Not afraid to thank God during games and is always praising God. Giving him all the glory. And he is always helping people out and helps out charities and has his own foundation to help others out. And I am a Christian too, but I want to become a better Christian like Tim. Be strong in my faith. And as I mentioned, I never met Tim, but I really hope I get to meet him one day. :) Now for alittle info on Tim. He has his own book. It's called "Through My Eyes: A Quarterback's Journey". It is a really good book. Also very inspiring. I recommend it to everyone to read. It goes through his life from when he was born up to being drafted to Denver. It also has lots of Bible Verses throughout the book and also has some pictures of him from when he was born and up to being a Bronco. I won't write the whole story, but just some important facts on Tim. :) So don't ruin the story for anyone. Timothy Richard Tebow was born on August 14, 1987 while his parents and siblings were on a mission trip to the Philippines.(Makati City). He has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. He is the youngest child. Tim was in the Philippines until he was 3. Then he along with is family moved back to the U.S. and lived on a farm in Florida. He grew up playing every sport imaginable. Basketball, baseball, football, ect. He was homeschooled instead of going to a public school. And growing up, he learned the Bible
and Bible Verses. And they put the verses into songs and hymns. Tim has dyslexia, just like his dad and his one brother. But it didn't stop him from being a su ccess with school, sports or anything else. Tim played for the baseball team Tidal Wave that traveled over Florida for different games. He first played football he played at the Lakeshore Athletic Association. Then played football for Nease High School. After that he was accpeted to many colleges, but ended up accpeting and going to the University of Florida.(Florida Gators). He made them 2006 National Champions. And became Heisman Trophy in 2007. And National Champions in 2008. Also throughout his college years he went on mission trips to the Philippines. And helping out at his Uncle Dick's orphanage. Despite alot of injuries, the flu, and a concussion, he remained strong and never gave up on playing football. Also in college he set up fundraisers and donated money to charities near them and ones that people knew and people had some kind of ties to it. I could go on, but I won't. You will just have to read the book. But in 2010, he was drafted to Denver Broncos. Then he set up his foundation(Tim Tebow Foundation). It's a charity that helps people out. So yeah, as I mentioned above, I never met him and really hope to one day, he is a really great and nice guy. And he does whatever he can to help people out and cares for them so much. So this is why I like him. :) And now(2012) he was traded to the New York Jets. So he will now be playing for them. But if you want to know more about Tim..read his book. Also like me, you can buy merchandise to help out his foundation. For more info, comment me. GO TIM!! I will love you always and support you always!!! GO NY JETS!!!
