To me Tim Tebow has a very unique personality. This is why. On Aug. 14, 1987 Tim Tebow was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. He is 6ft 3in and 245 lbs. and 22 years old. He is a senior quarterback at the University of Florida. His number is 15. In 2007, he won the Heisman Trophy. The Heisman Trophy is awarded to the best player of that year.

Tim Tebow does volunteer work to unfortunate countries. Usually in spring break you go to parties and have fun. Well, that is not the case for Tim Tebow. In spring break Tim Tebow travels to the Philippines to help out their poor communities. When he goes he donates clothes, money, shelter, and money for medicine. To get to know the children better he teaches them schoolwork and plays games with them after school. He also has helped build homes for the families who have barely any money. He feels proud when he accomplishes these goals. He donates Florida Gators souvenirs like jerseys, shirts, hats, shorts, pants, and socks. For school you need the right utensils so, he donates pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons, and backpacks. These are the reasons why Tim Tebow is a caregiver or a volunteer to the Philippines.

Tim Tebow has made a difference in my life tremendously because of what he says. One of them is " I’m not better than anyone just because I play football." Another is "I’m Sorry, I’m sorry. Extremely sorry, we were looking for an undefeated season, that was my goal, something Florida’s never done before. But I promise you one thing. A lot of good will come out of this. You have never seen any player in the entire country play as hard as I will the rest of the season, and you will never see someone push his team as I will push everyone the rest of the season. You’ll never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season. God Bless." This has made a difference in my life because sport players usually don’t make speeches like that. This is why he made a huge difference in my life.

Tim Tebow is my hero because he is a unique person, helps poor countries, and is a good role model in my life. Now you can see why Timothy [Tim] Tebow is my hero.
