Parker's Post

For the speech topic this year, I completely agree with Tristan. Our Last Lecture would be a perfect topic to choose, because I believe it has something for everyone. Randy Pausch's "last lecture" was literally a last lecture for him, but the book did state that most professors actually do a "last lecture" at the end of a school year or term. The topic will definitely stir up something that I don't think has been addressed to often in our lives and that would be; if we were to die what would we want people to remember us for. Furthermore, our speech is already a lecture, since we would be teaching something about ourselves to the audience anyway. Whether we want people to remember us for how well we lived like Professor Pausch, or whatever else you can think of, I'm sure everyone will enjoy writing and coincidentally, lecturing about this topic!
