Mr. Pausch presented his Last Lecture (wisdom about life and the world) on the Oprah Show. In this text, I will be discussing my First Lecture at 14 years old. I am lucky enough to be able to express myself using the walls in my bedroom. To represent my passions and everything that I love, my parents allow me to put up posters and pictures.

to spend the last few months of his life giving a lecture. But, Randy Pausch, who has 10 tumors in his liver, does not want people to pity him for having cancer. Rather, he wants to teach people how to follow their childhood dreams. Looking at the seven elements of communication we see how he is so effective in his last lecture. The lecture has affected me personally by letting me learn from some of Pausch’s past experiences. Pausch says, “The inspiration, and the permission to dream is huge.” This

Out of the many significant and growing commitments I have, “BASD Mini-Thon” is the most meaningful. Mini-Thon is a completely student-run committee at my school that raises money for the Four Diamonds Fund, a non-profit organization that supports families suffering with pediatric cancer.

In the novel, The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zaslow, Pausch recalls painting his bedroom walls after the permission of his parents. If my parents gave me permission to paint my bedroom walls, I would first paint on my favorite quotes on one wall.
