Life Lessons
During my College English class, we had the opportunity to read The Last Lecture. In this book Randy Pausch tells about his life, and how he got to where he was.

Life throws many curve balls, and nobody knows what tomorrow might bring. It might be that tomorrow may be your last day. On the precal test, I will try my hardest. Even though I think I may fail, I’ll try my hardest in hopes that I may succeed. When I’m at work trying to help a patient, I will do it to the best of my ability because I never know if I will have a tomorrow, or if they will have a tomorrow. Be
