"The last Lecture"

Wow, that was amazing! He was such an inspiration, he really made learning something fun and he made you want to keep coming back for more. His childhood dreams became reality, not by luck, but by his own determination to do everything he set his mind to. Even though he didn't accomplish all, he at least learned a lesson trying for those dreams. although he was dying from cancer he lived life to the fullest, as he said " we can not change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."

He was a professor at Carnegie Mellon, where he taught the students to follow their dreams. He did this by showing them how he followed his dreams and even including them in his. One of his dreams was "being in zero gravity", so he crated a team for a NASA project, where if they won they would be able to fly, even though they said teachers couldn't fly he was determined to find a way. So he realized that they could have journalist, so he made himself a journalist, and set up a way for the teachers to fly.

He didn't get to accomplish all his childhood dreams but he did at least learn something from trying. This is important because sometimes it just isn't meant to be, like the old saying "everything happens for a reason". Paushe stated that "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted",as he learned through football.

Paushe learned through his own experience that teachers made a great impact on their students, he learned this from Andy van Dam. Andy van Dam was Paushe's professor at Brown University, He encouraged Paushe to go to graduate school and to become a teacher. He told him he had a sales attitude and that he should at least sell education. Of course Paushe listened and he loved it and thank Andy for ever thing he did for him. As Andy helped him in following his dreams, Paushe made it his mission to help his students follow their dreams.

With many other people he created a program called Alice. This program teaches students to learn how to do computer programing,by making movie and games.

Paushe helped so many students throughout his years of teaching, by encouraging them and giving them hope. From his zero gravity project to ALICE, he helped people enjoy school while learning something hard.
