After wiping the tears away following that last line that Dr. Randy Pausch dropped, completing his “Last Lecture” speech at Carnegie Mellon University. I’m still in awe of his presence, attitude, and the talk I had just witnessed. I cannot imagine being in his position, as I hope to never be, I only hope I can be that thoughtful and impactful. In reflection, this video would do a lot of good for kids starting to think about their next steps in life. As a parent of two young boys, my hope is that I can help them achieve their childhood dreams, let alone my own.
