The Last Lecture

I thought the lecture was very moving. I thought it was going to be sad but he was laughing and telling jokes. He was in high spirits even though he was dieing from cancer. I loved the part when he brought his wife on stage and everyone sang happy birthday and she blew out the candles on her cake. That was so sweet.
He did a great job on accomplishing his childhood dreams. He not only did most of his dreams or came close to completing them but he also pushed other people to reach their dreams. He had high hopes as a child but made it in the end and touched many peoples lives.
He was also a great teacher. The virtual reality show on the lecture was funny. I had to watch it again because it made me laugh. The students obviously worked very hard on them. The ninja story was funny.
All in all I was impressed with the last lecture and wish more teachers were like him. Like Mr. Strange he does not believe in burb-back education and that is a great was to teach students how to learn. His personality was also great. He seemed like the kind of guy who would do anything to make you laugh and succeed.
