Timothy Richard Tebow

On August 14, 1987 in Manila, Philippines Timothy Richard Tebow was born. His mother was originally recommended to abort the pregnancy due an illness but she refused, just think all that potential could've just been another abortion stat. He is the youngest of the Tebow children and it was obvious to his siblings he had a gift at a very young age.

As a kid he was home-schooled and this posed a problem because, if you wanted to play you had to attend the school. They fought and the "Tim Tebow Bill" was passed allowing home schooled children to play high school sports.

The young athlete was BMOC (big man on campus) immediately. At Nease, Tebow was very important as he became a major college football quarterback prospect. He finished school with several awards including Florida's Player of the Year twice. One of his greatest accomplishments was finishing a game with a broken leg. During his senior season he led the Nease Panthers to a state title, earned All-State honors, was named Florida's Mr. Football and a Parade All-American. Tebow finished his high school career with 9,810 passing yards, 3,186 rushing yards, 95 passing touchdowns and 62 rushing touchdowns. He played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas which features the top 78 senior high school football players in the nation and is shown nationally on NBC television.

As a college student he continued to show his passion for the sport after a loss to Ole Miss on the 27th of September in 2008. "To the fans and everybody at gator nation you will never see any player in the entire country who will play harder than I will play the rest of the season, and you will not see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody for the rest of the season, and you will never see a team play harder than we will play the rest of this season. God Bless."

He is a christian soldier who has the unmistakeable scripture eye black. He used these versus in the 2009 season.

Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Florida International: Romans 1:16 "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." Florida State: Hebrews 12:1-2 "1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." SECCG: John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

He is my role model because he openly shows what Jesus can do for you.
