Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch Last LectureI love that he didn't let his cancer effect his teaching. He has an awesome attitude toward life. And it's great that he had a chance to accomplish his childhood dreams. My childhood dream was to be a nurse. I am not pursing a nurses degree because it is not for me. I have an associate degree in Medical Assisting and I have worked in the field and I do not like it. I do have a passion for kids and one day I will own my own daycare. Randy Pausch help me understand that, even if you try and don't complete your dreams, you can still find a valuable lesson. "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." He also made me realize that if you want something bad enough a brick wall will only slow you down, not stop you.

After fore filling my dreams I hope that I can enable others to fore fill theirs. With my students I will raise that bar and push them to their highest limit. Even with my daughter I have very high standards. My daughter is in 3rd grade and over the summer I taught her multiplication facts. Not only did she learn them but she also learn (by herself) the concept of division. Mr. Pausch says the student should learn something hard by having fun and that is exactly how I taught Shaneva her multiplication.

I think that being "self reflexed" is a great way to realize and make change of your attitude. It is a great way to build character and build friendships. Attitude make all the difference. Being trust worthy , loyal, and admitting when you are wrong will help you become an outstanding friend.
One of the most important fact about education is have fun. We as adults learn more when we are interested and having fun in any situation. So if we take that same concept and apply it to our students, just think of how much more they will get out of the lesson. I learn from this lecture to just keep moving and eventually you will get there. Randy Pausch was very motivation and inspiring.
