Achieving your Childhood Dreams By: Randy Pausch 



This was a very helpful video. Mr. Pausch  presents some interesting information on how to work with students and push them academically in the classroom. Teachers should always be their students number one fan and push them to achieve their goals. Students should be reminded daily that they can achieve anything that they set their mind and brain to. Mr. Pausch says "students can be having fun while learning something hard."


He says that there will always be brick walls that will get in your way and try to stir you off from accomplishing your dreams. Although, these  brick walls are not necessarily bad. Brick walls allow us to prove how bad we want things. Indeed, brick walls let us show our dedication. Mr. Pausch had a goal of being in the NFL when he grew up. However, he did not achieve that goal. He did start playing when he was nine.

Teachers, parents and friends should be the best support system for an individual.  The support system should keep motivating the individual. Teachers need to focus on others and find the best in everyone. Motivating students is one of the greatest impacts a teacher can have on a student.

People should not complain when trying to accomplish goals, because in the end there will be happiness and success. Two quotes that Mr. Pausch stated in the video that stuck out to me are, "Inspiration and the permission to dream is huge" & "experience is what you get when you didn't get what you want." Dreams are meant fo rnayone with a heartbeat. The ability to see yourself doing things anyone could ever imagine is something that no one can take from you and with inspiration and hard work anything is possible. If experience is what get when u don’t get what u want. I don’t want any experience cause I want to achieve everything I want.
