Final PSAT Post

I am finished with the book it was fantastic but also sad. I learned a lot from it, and it was very inspirational. I think that the Independent reading assignments have really helped me, I can tell I have improved a lot in my reading. I have read 4 books so far this year and next year I plan to read more. I think that the independent reading was worth it.

The Last Lecture

The author and also the narrator of this book is Randy Pausch. His health keeps on getting worse and now the doctors just gave him 3 - 6 months to live. He is making videos and photo albums so that his children can remember him when his children are older. He is also getting prepared for his death, he has his life insurance ready and other things that he needs for his death. So far he still looks very healthy and energetic although his health keeps getting worse. He is pretty much ready to die although he just thinks about how his family will live without him.
