After watching Dr. Randy Pausch's video I learned that you are going to need time management throughout your life. I have always just put things off and figured that I can do it later. But since Wednesday night’s class I have figured out that in order for me to be able to pass Dr. Strange's class I am going to have to be more prompt with my school work and stay on top of things. I also like that he mentioned that it's okay to fail, and with every mess up there is a learning experience. I must admit I have tried the to-do list and just fail and go on with something else but what I have realized that with this class I am going to have to start a to-do list and stick with it. So I am going to have to check that to-do list every day and not fall behind in this class so that I can stay with the program. However if I want the children to be prompt then I will have to follow the same rules. I had never heard of Randy Pausch before but I enjoyed his video and plan to watch some more of his talks. I definitely have a problem with time management and can use all the help I can get!
And yes sir I did watch some more of Dr. Pausch's video's it was very hard to watch because I would have never none that he was going to die. He is a very smart person and wish that I would have heard of him sooner. I have dealt with a lot of people in the past 5 years, that have past way with cancer and I am not very fond of cancer at all. My father was actually almost diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but as of right now he is cancer free. I know how very serious it is and hope to god that I will never have to come across that particular kind EVER.
My name is Sarah Powell and I have a tendency to wait to the last minute to do my work. You were right about how this class is forcing us to change our bad habits. I do like your idea about writing things down but I still do not make the time to do it. I am just going to have to sit down and do it no matter what I have going on or what time it is.
ReplyDeleteI also read your post about Dr. Pausch's and how he died of cancer. My grandfather died of cancer about two years ago. I was very sad to see him go and I will miss him. I am glad that your dad is cancer free and I hope that he stays cancer free.
