When do you know your true calling? Myron Rolle is a student athlete at Florida State University whom is truly the epitome of the passage "The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost."
Rolle is a starting defensive back for FSU's football team which that in itself is huge. He WOULD go no more than the top 50 this year in the NFL draft, and most likely after the combine his stats would move him even higher. However, a few million dollars is not Rolle's priority at the moment. Myron Rolle will not enter the NFL DRAFT this year, but attend Oxford, England to study medical anthropology for a 1 year program.
Awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, Rolle will be back to the NFL in 2010, but thanks not all folks! After his pro-career in the football, he'll head back to school to become a neurosurgeon. So how will this man "give back," as they say? Rolle will go back to his home in the Bahamas and open a free health services clinic!!
Rolle graduated from FSU after only 2.5 years, majoring in Exercise Sciences with a concentration in Pre-Med, and is currently completing a Master of Public Administration degree. The funny thing about this is I've only mentioned a few of his accomplishments!!! OMG!!
Hell!!!! I'm exhausted just thinking about the road this man is traveling!!! However, I will say I am truly inspired by this man's actions.
The Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest international fellowships, were initiated after the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, and bring outstanding students from many countries around the world to the University of Oxford. The first American Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.
Stay Ready,
Dominic
