My name is Chad I’m in the tenth grade at West Florida High School. These nine weeks I read the book “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. This book teaches us how to live when you know you are fixing to die. Randy has pancreatic cancer which is very deadly. This disease only allows him to have a few months of good health, but his delimma is that he wants to finish what he started. He decides to go through with the lesson to show people how to live with a person. Through this book we learn to never give up and always live with a purpose.
