Joe

I sighed and smiled as I glanced

in the mirror into the backseat at

a peacefully sleeping Naomi.

Wow.

That munchkin may have been a huge surprise ......but such a blessing.

I am blessed to be her daddy.

She sure has changed my life. For the better.

I smiled as I finally hit the exit into Athens.

My hometown.

I mentioned my hometown in my Heisman speech.

I discussed how impoverished the area is and about kids that I knew personally that went home after school hungry and had little to no food on their table at home.

I recall how emotional that I got giving that speech.

Was it planned? Absolutely not.

My parents told me that if I won and had to give the speech to just speak from the heart,which was what I did.

In that event, I found out how powerful words can be.
Apparently my speech caused many people to give to the food pantry and t
Athens was able to help many families.

It made me start to think about myself.

And the things I have done up to this point.

Things I am not proud of.

Drinking and sleeping around.

It could have costed me my career.

It has happened to others before.

How dare I be so dumb after being given the opportunity that I worked so hard for?

I was always a blessed kid that grew up in that poverty stricken area and to think I have acted so stupid with the things I have done angers me to no end.
