Tim was born in Liverpool, NY on December 16, 1963. Tim is now 52 years old, he went to college at Syracuse University. Tim was #99 on the Atlanta Falcons football team, he played a defensive end, and at Syracuse also. He was on a TV show called “A Current Affair”. These are some of his bestselling books “Unstoppable”, “The Dark Side of the Game”, and “Ruffians”. These books all started after Tim Green retired from his football career

He kept thinking about them during the war as motivation, so the he would get through it in one piece. In the book Tim is pretending to talk to Linda and it says, “"Well, right now," she said, "I'm not dead. But when I am, it's like ... I don't know, I guess it's like being inside a book that nobody's reading." "A book?"

On a crisp summer day, August the fourteenth, nineteen-eighty seven, a legend in football and leader in Christ was born, named Timothy Richard Tebow. He was born into a small town in the Philippines called Makati City. Tim Tebow’s parents were originally from America but they moved to the Philippines to do baptist missionary work (Whitaker, 5). In October of 1990 Tim Tebow’s family of four other older siblings moved to Jacksonville, Florida where Tim was raised. The Tebow’s next door neighbor, Uncle Dick, was like a true uncle to Tim. Most of his childhood memories were spent in Uncle Dick’s household (Whitaker, 7).

Through My Eyes, is a book about Tim Tebow contributing life lessons to children and him growing up and his successful life through high school, college, and NFL football. Tim started his journey off by going over to the Philippines and spreading god's words to little children. These moments show great character and leadership that football teams all over America are looking for. He always followed god by wearing eye-black that says Phil 3:16. Tebow was only fifteen years old at the time, so he knew these kids need more god in their life so he gave them gods hoped and words. Tim ultimately decided after a trip to transfer to Nease High School, and start as a sophomore at quarterback. This decision was the best choice he made his whole career, it completely changed his path, changing his football career forever. But unfortunately he came up short in his Sophomore and Junior years of winning a High School Championship, but finally succeeded in his Senior at Nease. After his Senior year Tim was not done he received eighty scholarships to schools to play college football, but was only interested in eight, but finalized to two. His next verdict was on two top ten football schools. He was either going to

They met in middle school here at Jefferson. She didn't like him at the time because Tim came to school smelling like manure and she thought farmers were gross. When high school came, they dated for a very long time. They are married now. She has influenced him in more than a few ways. One of the ways she impacted Tim was, she helped make him the best he could be. She influenced him to stay in school and she also keeps an eye out for him. She is his partner in crime. A second impact in Tim's childhood, was his brother, Ted. When he and his siblings were all around middle school age, all the boys had to help move a few of the farm tractors to Tim's farm. Ted didn't want to help that day, but Tim needed his help. He told him he had to and so Ted listened. When Ted was driving the tractor, he took too hard of a turn. It tipped over and he passed away. This impacted Timothy a lot. He blamed the accident all on him and has still yet to forgive himself. He doesn't break out of his shell very often anymore to have a good time because of what happened around 20 years ago. He has gone to a medium with his wife, Lindsey to talk to Ted. Ted told him to have fun more often and play jokes on his family. He even told him to get a tattoo. Tim's third impact was his Grandpa Cota. His grandpa taught him how to do everything on the farm. His grandpa was the person that inspired him to become a farmer and own his own farm. Tim's grandpa was one of the biggest people in Tim's life growing up. His Grandpa Cota was his inspiration and role

The sun has risen and a young boy jumps out of bed with excitement, as he knows today he gets to go to his first professional baseball game. His father had bought him the tickets for his birthday months ago, and the boy had been counting down the days ever since. He put on his favorite ‘Cleveland Indians’ shirt, and ran downstairs to eat his yogurt and waffles for breakfast. As he ate, his mother saw him happily drawing Jacob’s Field, using his brown crayon to put the finishing touches on the base paths. The boy had a penchant attitude for baseball, as it was the first game his father ever taught him to play, and because of that, he would play whenever he could; with rocks and a stick, with his friends in the yard, and in his head when he

Rodney had only played football with the kids on his block, sometimes, with his brother’s friends. But somehow things kind of clicked. He could watch their quarterback and tell which way he was going to go. It was like watching himself play the game. Because he had spent his entire life looking at the game from that perspective, he was simply watching it unfold. When their quarterback went right he was there. When he went left he was there. He was focusing on him only and the game simply unfolded and Rodney was able to drive the team from the back of the field. He was the reason the team was able to keep things in their control. Rodney realized that he was a great MLB. Who would have ever thought that? How did he miss that

Jimmy Cross, a college student, is carrying a great burden being the lieutenant of his group of soldiers. A chapter from The Things They Carried titled “In the Field” states, “Jimmy Cross did not want the responsibility of leading these men. He had never wanted it … he had signed up for the Reserve Officer Training Corps … because it seemed preferable to letting the draft take him” (160). The use of the word “never” to describe Cross’s want for being a lieutenant displays that at no point in his life had he ever desired to lead a band of men in the war. Even though Cross in no way wanted to direct this group of men, it seemed like a better option than being drafted in the war. To him, being drafted in the war sounded even less desirable than

The Lion Behind The Glass How much do we really know about lions? This beautiful beast does not only pridefully take on his role as “King of the Jungle” but he’s is also an inspiration to many of his followers. He is recognized as brave and prideful. Although he’s all of these great things he has a hidden truth. The lion is probably the most terrible dad in the animal kingdom.

The novel that I have decided to make a report on is the book Ashfall by Mike Mullin. My reaction to the book Ashfall was "Wow, Alex is really brave". If I was in his situation , I don't think I would have reacted the way he reacted. Alex took control and focused on one thing and that was finding his family.

But if Drew had to pick a favorite book that he read it would be, “Tim Tebow with Nathan Whitaker,” Through My Eyes.

Society has changed and evolved throughout time. Perhaps one of the most significant changed in contemporary American society is the treatment towards African Americans. “The Help” a feature film directed by Tate Taylor is based on the non-fictional novel “The Help” written by author Kathryn Sockett. The feature film explores the life of African American maids of Jackson Mississippi, in the early 1960’s. The 1960’s displayed all African Americans to being left out of the “American dream” through neglect and racism. African Americans faced prejudice and discrimination in almost every aspect of their life, from jobs to housing and even their education. They were denied the right to sit at the same lunch counter or use the same public rest

Tim Thomas decided to drastically change his life by giving everything he has to seven people, in order to save or improve their life in order to “make up” for the seven lives that were lost as a result of his carelessness. He gave a part of his lungs to his brother, a piece of his liver to a social worker, a kidney to a hockey coach, his home to a mother of two children but

Born just over five pounds in Jacksonville's St Vincent's Hospital, Ronnie grew up in one of the toughest households in one of the toughest areas of Jacksonville, Florida's Westside "Shanty Town." This toughness permeated his entire being, almost from day one. Growing up on Mull Street, Ronnie was the undisputed king among the boys who would gather to play baseball or football -- games that usually degenerated into raucous free-for-alls because of a missed catch or disputed strike. These games introduced Ronnie with his first love -- baseball. He hoped that sports would rescue him from Shanty Town and recalled in 1975, "I went as far as playing American Legion ball. The next step would have been AA. I played center field. I had the highest
