"As I see it, a parent's job is to encourage kids to develop a joy for life and a great urge to follow their own
 dreams." For his own children Randy said, "I want you to become whatyou want to want you to become." 

What do you want to do with your life? Not just a job or occupation. What do you want to do with your life?
 What would you like to accomplish? What mark would you like to leave for future generations?

Story lines are easy for me to make up. I'm already wrighting a book called "Jean sky."
I want to have a family. A loving husband and 2 children.

Chapter 58: The Input of Others


Randy and Jai received notes and emails from thousands of people: old friends, past acquaintances, and total strangers who offered suggestions, advice and support. They have never felt like they were in it all alone, and this type of caring make a huge difference in their ability to cope with Randy's illness.

Think of someone you know who is struggling right now. Write a note of encouragement, adding personal touches that reflect your relationship.  
     Sammy, i know were both going through a lot with Dylen being in the hospital right now. I wish i could be there for you. He's like an older brother to me. He raised me. I hope he makes it through this. I don't know what i'd do without him.

Chapter 57: A Way to Understand Optimism


Optimism helped Randy to get through brutal chemo treatments, and it kept him living like he was still living, instead of being depressed and living like he was dying.

Explain how optimism can help you get through tough times.  
       It keeps your hopes up and makes you think that in the end everything will be ok.

Chapter 56: Make a Decision: Tigger or Eyeore


Living - that's what Randy enjoyed. He didn't know how not to have fun. He made the decision to pack fun into whatever time he had left on this earth.
a. Are you a Tigger or an Eyeore? Tigger!
b. Tell all about the most fun time you ever had. One of the best times i had was when My amazing boyfriend had taken me to disney world. 

Chapter 55: All you Have To Do Is Ask


Dylan, Randy and his father got to sit in a Disney monorail's nose cone with the driver simply because Randy asked. "More often than you'd suspect, the answer you'll get is, "Sure."

Ask for anything from anyone. Write your request, identifying whom you are asking, and for what you are asking. 
     If i could ask anyone for anything i would ask donovan if i could have a hug. <3

"It's been well documented that there is a growing sense of entitlement among young people today." Many graduates are "Unhappy with the idea of starting at the bottom" of the job ladder. But Randy's view is that "If you can't (Or won't) sort mail, where is the proof that you can do anything?

Chapter 50: The $100,000 Salt and Pepper Shaker

     Disney's decision to replace a broken $10 souvenir for a 12 year old boy would end up earning them ten thousand times that in revenue as tha Pausch family made many repeat visits to the theme park. Randy says institutions today need to have a heart.
How would you define randy's phrase "have a heart" and in what way could you make someones day better by "having a heart"?
   Having a heart kinda means understanding whats going on or maybe meaning that by doing the right thing.
   How I can make someones day better by having a heart is by giving my friends or someone at lunch food when they have non. I do that everyday.
