Randy Pausch is quite the inspirational educator. In Randy Pausch's Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood DreamHe had cancer at one point, but he was able to beat it, and I know it is because of his positive attitude and motivation to live a happy life. He has so much advice for future teachers and how to handle children, and it is all unique and good! He encourages educators to let children act out all their events and have an audience to act in front of. It is fun for children to act out and pretend to be someone else. He also talks about setting the bar high for your students and pushing them to achieve big goals. It is important to work to accomplish the goals that you set out for. Sometimes, there will be brick walls but you have to do your best to overcome them and conquer them. When people get frustrated with you learning, it is only because they really care about you! When people stop complaining about things that you are doing, they no longer care.
All in all, the most important thing I took away from this was to always keep working towards my goals, and push my future students to work hard to accomplish what they want to accomplish too. Anything can be done with motivation and hard work!
