... 당신의 선택은?
AZUZ: The goal of the Rhodes Scholarship is to promote international understanding and peace by bringing together people from different cultures and backgrounds. Every year, 32 Americans are chosen for the honor, and obviously, academics play a role in the selection process. But one of this year&#-9;s recipients is actually better known for his work on the football field. Don Lemon introduces us to this true student-athlete.

DON LEMON, CNN REPORTER: The question many have been asking about Myron Rolle began with a call home to his mom.
MYRON ROLLE, FSU FOOTBALL PLAYER: I say, "Mummy," She say, "Hey, you find out anything?" "I won." "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!". "Mummy, relax, relax. I gotta tell you more." "AHHHHHHHHH."
BEVERLY ROLLE, MYRON&#-9;S MOTHER: "AHHHHHHH." Oh my god.
LEMON: That&#-9;s how it started. That&#-9;s when Myron Rolle learned he had a choice to make.
ROLLE: I like to set my goals for the stars and reach as high as I can.
LEMON: Rolle is a scholar-athlete who, in just two-and-a-half years, raced thru Florida State to graduate near the top of his class, pre-med. But what inspires so many, and what made them cheer for Myron Rolle, is his single-minded belief that anything, anything, really is possible.
ROLLE: Barack Obama has done it. Oprah Winfrey has done it. People who have succeeded with their academics, with their brain, with their intellect and their power of speech and their influence.
LEMON: Which is why it now seems all but certain his future would be decided on a big game day. It was Florida State at the University of Maryland. NFL scouts watching. The only question: Which team would draft him and pay him millions? But Rolle was 800 miles away. Instead of suiting up for the game, a private jet flew Rolle to Alabama. He was up for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University; his final interview was that morning. On the frigid field in Maryland, fans watched the clock, fingers crossed he could get back in time. A police escort rushed him to the stadium in time to play the second half and a huge victory. But by then, he&#-9;d already called home. The Rhodes committee had selected him.
LEMON: Why were you so excited, mom?
ROLLE: Because my baby just won something that he dreamt about for many years. He accomplished it.
LEMON: Myron&#-9;s brother, Marvis.
MARVIS ROLLE, MYRON&#-9;S BROTHER: I almost lost my mind. I let go of the wheel and started screaming, "Yeaaaaahhhh!"
LEMON: Oxford, England or the NFL? The 22-year-old had already founded health classes for needy kids in Florida, and had plans to eventually start a clinic in the Bahamas dedicated to his family. So, what would Myron Rolle decide?
LEMON (TO ROLLE): You are going to go to Oxford, right?
ROLLE: Yes sir. I&#-9;m going to go to Oxford. It&#-9;s something I&#-9;ve wanted to do, and that&#-9;s why I chose the Rhodes Scholarship to pursue, because Oxford is a great university.
LEMON: And after that, the NFL, and then med school.
ROLLE: I want to be a doctor. I want to be great. I want to do some great things.
LEMON: It&#-9;s why so many are cheering for Myron Rolle.
