Randy Paush is dying of pancreatic cancer but that is not his primary concern. It is the three small children that he will leave behind. They will be too young to remember much about their father. His mission is to leave some part of himself behind. Randy is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and for him lecturing is a way of life. Within this format he tells his children all about the life that he had hoped to share with them. He also shares childhood dreams and how he achieved many of them.
