I can't get over this book. It's one of those that I've read over half of it in less than one day. Sitting in Central Park on a gorgeous NY day was the perfect way to read The Last Lecture. It goes through the story of a college professor battling pancreatic cancer. However, it doesn't showcase his death, instead his journey through LIFE! It is a beautiful story of celebration and his intense love for life.
On his attempt at becoming a Disney Imagineer:
"I ended up being allowed to take that sabbatical, and it was a fantasy come true. In fact, I have a confession. This is exactly how geeky I am: Soon after I arrived in California, I hopped into my convertible and drove over to Imagineering headquarters. It was a hot summer night, and I had the soundtrack to Disney's The Lion King blasting on my stereo. Tears actually began streaming down my face as a I drove past the building. Here I was, the grown-up version of that wide-eyed eight-year-old at Disneyland. I had finally arrived. I was an Imagineer!"
I hope you all can check this out! It's well worth it!
