Ladies and Gentlemen,
Here's the first post for this video. My first set of questions:
1. What would you give as your last lecture? If you had an audience, and you could speak about one thing, what would it be?
2. Could you have this kind of attitude if you knew you were dying?
3. What are your childhood dreams right now?
More to follow...

Dear Mr.Moore
For your first question I think that I would do my last lecture on my life how I lived and how I got to be the person I am today.
From,
Ben
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I was to have a last lecture I would talk about how I lived as a person. For example I would talk about how the schools were and also how I lived as a child.
Jeffrey
Dear Mr.Moore,
I would have this kind of addittude because everyone dies or should I say we have to die. My first childhood dream is to play in a band. Right now I'm learning how to play a guitar and my parents are going to buy me a drum sets for my continuation.
Denisse
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I could give one last lecture, I would talk about the people who have influenced me in life. I would talk about why they influenced me and I would talk about role models and what makes a role model a role model. If I knew I was dying, I would be miserable but I would still think about how great my life was. One of my childhood dreams is to become an author and to be able to make other people happy and live a great life. I just think it would feel so great to make people who aren't happy become happy.
Sincerely,
Cheyanne
Dear Mr. Moore,
I can answer your first question, 'What would you give as your last lecture?' If I had to give a last lecture, it would be about living your life and life is too short to worry about little things. Everyone needs to know that life is too short to worry about the little things because, if you loose someone close to you then you will regret all of the little things you worried about and got in to fights with them.
Dear Mr.M,
My childhood dreams are to get a good job,no gravitey,Lots of money,seeing my favorite teacher when I am older, And getting good luck and I really want to do all kinds of things because I have so many dreams that I don't think I can list them all so these are some of my dreams so I can't really name them all.
From,
Jonathan
Dear Mr.Moore,
I would have the type of attitude if I was dying because I don't want to make people said but happy.
From,
Ben
Dear Mr.Moore,
If I had to do a last lecture before I died I would talk about my childhood. I would talk about my adventures and the awesome fifth grade that I was able to be a part of.
Nathan
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I would he to give a lecture I would talk about how my neighborhood was and the dreams that I had as a little kid.
Yes, I would because I would like to let everyone know what I did as a little kid and what I was shooting for.
My childhood dreams are to go to the NBA and play for my hometown right now. So that team would be Denver Nuggets.
~Elsad
Dear Mr.Moore,
If I gave my last Lecture it would be about how my life was and what were my dreams, but mostly about my life. The reason why I would only talk my life is because I had a lot of fun during my life and I would talk about the triple Epc computers.
*Angelica C
Dear Mr. Moore,
I would give my last lecture about something that has changed my life a lot. I'm not really sure what could change my life A LOT, though. It's a thing you just have to find out.
I do not think that I would've been able to give a lecture this way, in this persuasive attitude. I wouldn't even do a lecture. If I HAD to, I'd give a BORING lecture.
My childhood dreams are- being a singer (maybe famous), meeting Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato (both famous singers), and to meet Misty Edwards (a singer). But my beliefs are blocked-right now, I don't think I will be able to do some of my childhood dreams.
｛Narah}
Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
My answer to your question #2 is no I would not have the same attitude if I knew that I was going to die because I would really be scared to leave my family a lot. I can not believe that he was with that attitude. I think that he was also scared that he was going leave his wife and kids but he was not showing it to to his audience.
Your friend,
Lupita
Dear Mr.Moore,
If I ever could give a last lecture it would probably be about my childhood.Like what I did,what I was interested in,who were my best friends,and stuff like that.Mostly about what my whole life lessons were and who taught me them.Also about my whole life and what I did wrong and what I did bad.
Sincerely,Emiliano
Dear Mr. M,
If I gave one lecture before I was dying it would be about what I have wanted to do when I was a kid. I have a lot of dreams and I would talk about all of them. If I could only pick one of my dreams it would be about becoming an engineer for the air force. The reason I would want to become an engineer is because the army pays for your college. But most of all, I would want to serve my country.
I could not have this same attitude if I knew I was dying. I would not be able to do all of this because I would be to sad about dying and leaving my family.
My childhood dream is a mystery to me right now. I am not lying at all.
From,
Jody
Dear Mr. Moore,
I can answer your question, 'Could you have this kind of attitude if you knew you were dying?' an her is my answer: If I knew I was dying, I could not act like this because I would be too worried to do anything because I could die any minute. I understand that he was like this because he is not nervous to act like this because he will never have this chance again.
~Kaylee
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I knew I was dying I would not be acting the way he is. The way I would be acting is maybe crying or maybe I would be trying to get the things done for my funeral.
Jeffrey
Dear Mr.Moore,
For your last question my childhood dreams were to go to many jobs to lean so much things and to have skills. Another dream was I wanted to go to CU after my sister just went there but it's going to be hard because my sister got in there from straight A's.
From,
Ben
Dear Mr. Moore
This man was telling the people that he was not thing about the thing that he has. He was doing some pushups and telling the people that he was telling good and telling them that if they wanted to cry that they hd to do the peshups. Then he was shoing us his house that he bot. Then he was shoing us that his dad was taking pickers with his bers.
By Cesar
Dear Mr. Moore,
Want I want to be when I grow up is a pastry chef. I just like how they are so creative with how they make the pastries.
When I watched the food channel they made exotic creations with crazy designs which just looks so fun. What I also what I want to do is make creations out of sugar, like sculptures.
From,
Sophia
Dear Mr. Moore,
What would I give as my last lecture? I would tell them about my childhood because since I'm going to die I would relive my life one more time. I wouldn't have this attitude if I knew that I was going to die. My dreams right now would be a designer and a vet because I love to design stuff and I love animals.
Sincerely,
Esmeralda
Dear Mr. Moore,
My childhood dreams right now are, to be a famous actress and singer. I hope to soon achieve. these dreams. I do not think that I would be able to give this kind of attitude for a lecture if the I knew I was dying, for the following reasons. To begin, If I was dying I would be worried, so if I had an audience that big I would be nervous about what I would say because that would be the last lecture that everyone would remember you saying, and if you messed it up it wouldn't be the best thing.
~Torsha
Dear Mr.Moore,
If I had this attitude like Randy I would not hold long I would later realize I'm dying.Also I would be really sad and other people would be made sad also probably.
Sincerely,Emiliano
Dear Mr. Moore,
My answers for 2 of the questions are:
If I was dying I would be sad but I would spend my last days with my family and I would try to do the things I have always wanted to do.
If I were to give my last lecture it would be about The Bible.
From,
Crystal
Dear Mr. M
I think that i would like to do some thing to my last lecture is the awesome thing to hes life and problems that he want to do or look at and what you did in your life.
Love Ashley
Dear Mr. Moore,
For my last lecture, I would talk about my years in 5th grade, and how everyone was like a family. I would also talk about how we all stuck together and helped each other through rough times and problems we had.
If I had an audience, and I could talk about one thing only, I would talk about 5th grade, because this would be the only year that we were like a family, and how we stuck together, and helped each other, and if there was any year in East like 5th grade, I would go back and replay it, because it is probably a year like no other.
If I knew I was dying, I would probably still be proud of myself, because I know that in the past years I have improved a lot, and even though I wouldn't be able to be there to celebrate a special moment, I would still have the wonderful memory with me forever.
Right Now, my childhood dreams are to beome a famous author, and a veternarian. I want to become an author because I love writing, and even though it isn't perfect, I like to write thigs that just come to me from my heart. I want to become a veternarian because I want to help abused and hurt animas have a second chance at life.
Admira
Dear Mr. Moore,
Here is my answer for question 3.
My childhood dream right now is to be a actor. The reason why I want to be an actor is because when ever I play with my cousins they always hurt me but not that hard, so when they do I start to fake cry so they believe that I am actually crying. But is not because of that is because it might be fun going to other states, countrys to film movies and all of that. I really hope that my dream comes ture.
*Angelica C
Dear Mr.Moore and Miss.VanderVelde,
Here are the questions you asked and my answers:
1.What would you give as your last lecture? If you had an audience, and you could speak about one thing, what would it be?
If I had to give my last lecture I would talk it about my life. I would talk it about my life, so people who did not really know me would get to know me better. I would talk about when I was born until how old I was. This reminds me of maybe when an author had written there last book because it is like your last lecture.
2. Could you have this kind of attitude if you knew you were dying?
I could not have this attitude because it would be sad. I think that maybe other students in our class could have this attitude. This reminds me of my dad's dad. It reminds me of him because I never got to meet him because he died before I was even born.
3. What are your childhood dreams right now?
My dreams right know are to become someone famous in life and to help people who need help. These are my dreams because if I was someone in life I would be rich and I could help homeless. This reminds me of when someone was famous and they helped the homeless, like kids.
From,
Mirican
Dear Mr. Moore,
I think that my attitude would be sarcastic if it was my last
lecture. I would talk about my life and what had happened to me.
I think that the thing I would talk about that was in my life before
I died.
Andrew
Dear Mr.Moore,
If I was to give my last lecture I would talk about my dreams like he did in his last lecture before he had died.I would tell about sports and the dream I had to become a baseball player and play for my home team the Rockies.But that is a dream that still can happen and if I do make it I would tell everyone how hard it is and how you feel and that it is not just fun and games it could be tough.That is what I will always remember those words said and remember my family forever.That is one of the my dreams. But know I would have more things to say.But this person he is about to die.If that was me I would be super sad because he has a family and leaving them before you die and know you would be doing your last lecture is really tough but he did it so easy that's a tough thing to do.
Sincerely,
Richard
Dear Mr.Moore,
My answer to #1 is if I was supposed to say my last lecture it would be about my life and the ups and downs that have happened in my life. I would talk about this because I think that my life would be very interesting to tell.
Your friend,
Lupita
Dear Mr. Moore,
I can answer your third question, 'What are your childhood dreams right now?' Here is my answer: I have many childhood dreams, but here are a few. One of them is to work in the offices were they get the feedback from astronauts and the Mars Rover. I think that would be cool because I would be able to see everything that is happening in space before they showed it to the rest of the world.
Another dream that I have is to be able to float in space, just like Paul Rausch. I think it would be really cool to float in space because I would never have that chance again in my life. I would be one of the few people that get to do that.
~Kaylee
Dear Mr. Moore,
I think that my dreams right now is that I want to be...
1. a vet
2. want to be on T.V.
3. want to go to Disney World
4. want to have my own websit
If I knew that I was dying I would just wait in till I was dying and it would just be like a normal thing for me.
Diana
Dear Mr.Moore
I think that if i had to give my last lecture it would be about my family.And some of my child hood dreams are to play in the NFL or to plat in he NBA for the Denver Nuggets.
-Emanuel
I would give as my last lecture about my life and what I used to do. I would also get some videos of my life if I had some. I would talk about something that I love like for example I love to collect cards. I always collect Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon cards I still do even though my mom is telling me that I am getting to old to collect kid thing like cards I still do because one of my dreams is to become a collector and collect a lot of stuff I like. Yes I could have that attitude if I was going to die. The reason I say this is because if I was going to die I would want to get everything I ever wanted to say out so people could get to know me better and plus if some people did not like me then I showed them this they might like me for once or for the rest of my life that I would have left.
Manuel
Dear Mr. Moore
I think that my childhood dreams right now is to some day go to space. I just want to have the feeling of what it has to be and not just be in space but to drive the ship.
I also want to be a famous girl baseball player. I just enjoy the feeling of the wind blowing in my hair as I catch the ball. I wold say that baseball would be my passion in life I don't know what attracted to playing baseball. Most people don't know that but I just like to play baseball for some reason. This would be my biggest dream that I have so far.
I also would really like to be prom queen when I grow up and when I get to high school for my school prom when I graduate. I have been told by some, that I am most likely to be th prom queen in high school. I know that being a baseball player and being prom queen would be kind of weird and awkward but if it is than go ahead and call me weird and awkward.
If I were to do my last lecture I would like to talk about all the things that I have gotten and all the chances and friends that I have and how fortunate I was to have all of that. I just think of talking about all the wonderful things in life that I have gotten. I think that if that were to happen I would be happy with just that. I would feel like if it were to be the last thing to talk to someone about. I just think that that would be so nice to actually have someone there that would really want to come to my last lecture as if i were to die right that moment.
I think that if I were to be this person I wouldn't feel as well as he feels right now because he is so happy or probably he is just hiding his anger at least that is what I would do. I would feel so frustrated to find out that there really is no cure for this and that there is no way that I am going to die! I just think that the best thing to do is just to forget about it and try to hide it because if I were to be someone famous I think that I would provoke others to feel the same way I do.

I might act like that because I might feel that I am going to cry about the problem in my stomach so I would or might want to cry or act like that. Ruben T
Dear Mr.Moore,
My childhood dream right now is to fly an airplane.I want to fly one because it would be fun to be off the ground and in the air.Some people also don't even know this but now they do.
Sincerely,Emiliano
Dear, Mr. Moore I think that he is happy cause he knows he's going to die in honor and be happy cause if I new I was going to die I would be happy cause I now I'll die on honor cause a lot of people love me and they want me to be happy and that everything is fine down here. and he's wife and kids would be happy for him that the last lecture was to say good-bye to all he's wonderful fans that trusted him for years and loved him and now they could count on him and now that he's up there they all need to pray for him and hope he is alright up in the sky.I know he misses he's family especially and the public is what he misses being up their saying he's lecture's that my thinking.
~ Karla
Dear Mr. Moore,
The thing I would give as my last lecture would be something about my childhood. I'm choosing this because childhood is the longest and most important part of your life.
Arturo*
Dear Mr. Moore
For your first question what I would do If I would give my last lecture it would by far be about my family. It would be about my family because think about it. Whats the best part of your life? Thats why I would choose my family. The second question was if I would have a attitude like this man has. The answer is defiantly no. I don't know how he could make jokes when he would die in a couple of months. I would probably there was no god and if there was he would probably hate me. The final question you had was what are your childhood dreams. Personally mine is to become a basketball player. I always will always love basket ball.
~Dzenad
Dear Mr.Moore,
My last answer is to become a singer because I really enjoy singing. That is why I am in Honors Choir even though we have to wake up at 7:00 a.m it is totally worth. Another reason I want to become a singer is to prove my brother wrong because he is always saying that he is the est singer in the house.
Your friend,
Lupita
Dear Mr.Moore,
I will talk about my my crazy dreams that every time when I go to sleep with my sister and I will feel so sad if that could happen to me and my dreams are that I will be a singer when I grow up and make some CDs for people.

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.Vandervelde,
I think that Dan Mass videos I was noticing that the 5th graders and from high school were reading something.I noticed that the 5th graders were reading there story that they wrote about the “EEE's.The high school kids were saying something about that to and how they had helped them.In the videos I saw some of the 5th grade picture,but I only saw one.As I was saying while I was watch the videos I though that they were so amazing because the kids were talking about the laptops.The computer had helped us with a lot of things like writing and other things,but I still think that they are cool.I just wish we can use them in 6th grade so it can help us with things that we don't now. If I was in one of the videos I would say that this computers had helped us a lot and I would want to use them in 6th grade for ever.I would want some audience if I was dying because I would want to tell the people what I have and also say things that I did before when I was a kid.My childhood dreams right now are to meet a actor from a move called Iron Man because I would want him to give me is autograph and got on a ride on his car.I would also want to meet a perfensinal soccer player called “Ronaldo”because I would want him to teach me some of his soccer moves.
From Gustavo
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I could give a last lecture, it would be one of my best lectures I have ever made. If I had an audience and I could only speak about one thing, it would be about my childhood dreams. It would also be the ups and downs about my childhood drams for sure.
I could have the same attitude as this man. It would be hard but I could still do it because I no for sure that there is no way to stop my self from dying.
I have many dreams right now. I will list all of my dreams below.
Become engineer for the air force
Be a NFL football player
Be a succesful man
and last of all, become an astronaut.
From,
*Jody*
Dear Mr. Moore,
If I had my last lecture I would talk about peoples life time. I would also talk about what happened to them when they were young and how was school like back then.
Chantel
Dear. Moore
I wold end with saying to be safe. I do not think I can do that when I found out I was dying. My child hood dreams are to get to do the vurtual programs that are fun.
Sinceraly,
Shawn
Dear Mr. Moore,
Here is my answer for number three.
My childhood dreams right now is to be a singer. I really like to sing and if you knew really well you can tell that I do. The reason I want to be a singer is because I have been singing since I was two years old and I still sing now so from when I was two till now that would be nine years! That is a long time and when I watch the videos that my mom kept I really liked to sing a lot and if you watch those videos you can see that I was always singing like every time I was on the camera.
This makes me remember that when we went to the place called Cal-Wood in Bolder, and Ms. Vander Velde was the teacher in my cabin and one night all the people in my cabin couldn't go to sleep so she started singing and than all of a sudden I closed my eyes and then right away I opened my eyes and thought that she really can sing good and we all said that she sings like a million of angels. I really like her voice and we wanted her to sing more and she did for a little while but than she said that she was tired so we had to go to sleep without her beautiful voice.
Here is my answer for number two.
I totally couldn't have this attitude when I knew I was about to die because I would be really scared and want to spend time with the people I love because it would be the last time I have with them and I wouldn't like that because I would like to spend more time with them. When I really think about going to die later in life at some point, I feel very very sad because I don't want to ever die and I am even more scared because I think it will hurt when I die. I can't even think how it would feel when I die. Sometimes I wonder if all my family that already passed away is really looking over us.
This makes me wonder that the people in my family who died how did they feel? What does it feel like to be dead? I just wonder things about dead people. I wonder how many people have died through the years the Earth was alive?
Here is my answer to question number one.
If I said my last lecture it would be on how my life changed through out all my years that I have been born. I would choose that topic because right now in fifth grade my grades have went up and all the technology that we have, have really changed my life. If I would have been my last lecture I would totally talk about my fifth grade year because right now this would probably be how my life h as changed a lot. I think my last lecture would be good.
This makes me realize that fifth grade has really changed my life because we have great teachers, we have really cool computers that make us more excited to learn. I really will never forget fifth grade because it has really made me better at everything in my education such as math, science, reading, exspecially writing, and a lot more things.
All in all, life is a big deal and has many things that are very cool and things that are not so cool. There are mistakes that you make in life and when you make mistakes you actually get more mature to me because I think when do you something wrong you know not to do it again or you will just make yourself more in trouble than you were before. To me life is the greatest thing in the world and there is nothing better than it when you really think about it.
<3 Angelica U.
Dear Mr.Moore,
I would give a lecture on how people have evolved.It would be how have people evolved into what they are now.I would talk on how people made the earth as it is now.Why would people evolve I'll tell you we need to evolve because we need to survive.The kind of attitude I see in Randy Pausch is basically the attitude I might have.If I knew I had at least a few months to LIVE I would be kind of sad because I would have to fit all the fun I can into those months.There is also the fact that I would try to set a new world record.I would have also mention in my last lecture how we have learned from the small to major mistakes of mankind if we did not learn from these mistake we would have destroyed mankind as we know it.As I'm watching the last lecture at the beginning there was the childhood dreams.Today I still have childhood dreams.Those dreams are way beyond what you'd think.Here are the dreams I still have.#1 To create a nano-bot that would basically devour carbon based material even though this might sound impossible the nano-bots would also multiply.#2 This one is that i would find a way so that people can live on another planet like our planets close friend mars.You might think that people can live on mars right now but we just don't want to.There is the fact that if we go to mars with out any air we would die because there is about 10% air on mars.But my dream of people living on mars isn't crazy because what I want to find is a way so that a single machine could convert co2 into oxygen by converting 25 Hindenburg air craft full of co2 in just 5 hours.#3 My final dream is to find a way to make mankind different.I'm thinking that there is a way to make mankind different by making a way so that people can make one difference and learn to survive with out any cost.Not the cost of lives and not money but our own perceiving on our own live those are my dream and yet I want to know more and more but if I do can I learn to much can any one learn to much?
Your friend or not,
Ruben.z
Dear Mr. Moore,
My lecture would be about my life when I was little because it might be interesting about your life when you were a kid and ya I would talk about my life as a little child. If I new I was dying I would just have fun and forget about it. My childhood dreams write now is to be a singer I love to sing.
Anna Karen
Dear Mr.Moore,
For the first question that the blog has would be my answer would be yes I'm happy like my life is.I would also have the kind of addittude I have right know because everyone dies.My first childhood would be getting into a team so I can play in a real game.Right know I'm playing basketball and that is the team I wanted to be so I can play in a real game.Another thing is that I should talk about the people who have influenced me in life.In addition my last lecture also would be telling what my life was like and what were my dreams back then.
Sincerly,
Evelin
Dear Mr. Moore,
I think he is scared to die because he is going to leave his family and hes kids but if I was about to die I would be scared to leave my family alone.
Anna Karen
Dear Mr.Moore,
For your first question I think that I would talk about my life. First of all I have had some rough points but it all got good I would do a video like the guy that was on.
Your friend Jessica.
Dear,Mr.Moore
While we were watching the video I learned a lesson and that lesson is if you are about to die you can have some audience and tell them what you have and also tell what you did when you were little.You can also get pictures and show them.
From Gustavo
Dear Mr. Moore
I think that this man was rilly diproest when he was leving that day dut he was not filling sade. When he was leving there where chearing but at then it was the moms brthday. It look like the mom was crying because her son was going to die.
By Cesar
Dear Mr.Moore,
Here are the answer to these questions,
My last lecture would be about how great my year was and how everyone is very important to me and how great they are. The only one thing I would talk about is how was my 5th grade year was and how this is really important it was to me. This lecture is very important because this is one chance to let out what you would want to say.
Yes, I would have the same attitude because when I am leaving Elementary school and if I am going to know that I am going to die I would cry a lot and spend as much as time with my friends like for Continuation I want to spend more time with my friends and spend the last minute with them. If I was dying I would be very sad because I wouldn't want to die and as for elementary school I wouldn't want to leave Elementary school.
My childhood dreams are when I grow up I want to be a teacher a successful teacher I also wanted to be like my mom but I would really want to be a great teacher. I hope I will succeed in many things.When I grow up what would help me be a teacher is to get a scholarship.
Your Friend,
Isabel
