the Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football. it was created in 1935 and never has a football player from hawaii ever came close to winning it. well, this year was different.
oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota won it! born and raised in hawaii with a proud polynesian background making history. i watched his interview after winning the trophy and he said “if one person in hawaii is successful, the whole hawaii is successful.” i think it was an amazing speech and i’m sure the whole entire state of hawaii, including all the polynesian islands in the south pacific are very proud of this amazing athlete. what a great role model!
back to south/east taiwan. everybody in hawaii asking me how it was. all i have to say is “excellent.” Kimura-san on an excellent wave.
