#humansofstcharles If you’re worried that a questionable mole might be skin cancer, there’s an app for that — thanks to Emma Nordstrom, a St. Charles volunteer and graduate of Bend’s Trinity Lutheran School. Earlier this year, Nordstrom, 18, was one of 200 high school students in the country to be recognized as a National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Champion for her invention: A program that allows a person to scan a concerning lesion and will flag it if it shares characteristics with different types of skin cancer.

Probably one of the greatest words of wisdom by Randolph Frederick Pausch who was a professor of computer science, human–computer interaction, and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pausch learned he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006. In August 2007, he was given a terminal diagnosis: "three to six months of good health left". He gave an upbeat lecture titled, "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon. He co-authored a book of the same name, The Last Lecture, which became a New York Times best-seller, a book I had read twice and highly recommended! Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008, aged 47.

Facing Death with a Dream: A Legacy That Lives On Professor #RandolphPausch, a brilliant mind tragically struck by pancreatic cancer, faced his mortality with remarkable courage. Instead of succumbing to despair, he delivered a powerful and inspiring lecture titled "#TheLastLecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." This wasn't a morbid farewell, but a vibrant call to action, a message that continues to resonate long after his passing. Pausch's lecture offered a treasure trove of wisdom. He urged us to dream big, to chase those childhood aspirations with unwavering determination. Life, he reminds us, throws up obstacles – brick walls, as he called them. But these challenges shouldn't deter us; they're opportunities to find creative solutions, to go around, over, or even through the wall. Sometimes, the path may seem like a head fake, a detour that takes us on an unexpected journey. But trust the process, for these detours can ultimately lead us closer to our dreams. Pausch's message transcended the physical limitations of life. He spoke of time travel, not through a machine, but by cherishing memories and using the lessons of the past to navigate the future. He encouraged us to reconnect with those childhood dreams and reignite the passion that fueled our younger selves. Death may be inevitable, but Pausch's legacy is a testament to the fact that our impact can endure. His lecture is an embodiment of the #thirddeath concept – the idea that even when our physical presence fades and memories dim, the positive impact we make can live on. Pausch's powerful words continue to inspire countless lives, a testament to the power of communication and the enduring impact of sharing knowledge and experiences. Most of us will fade from memory, a harsh truth, but Pausch's story offers a beacon of hope. It shows us that by leaving a positive mark on the world, by living with purpose, we can achieve a form of immortality. We can become more than just names on a gravestone, but inspirations for generations to come. Let Pausch's story be a reminder to: Embrace challenges – See them as opportunities for growth, not roadblocks. Share your wisdom – Your experiences can benefit others in ways you might not imagine. Live with purpose – Identify what truly matters to you and strive to leave a positive legacy. Professor Pausch may be gone, but his message lives on, a powerful reminder that even in the face of mortality, the human spirit can leave an indelible mark on the world. Let's all strive to follow his example, to chase our dreams, and leave the world a better place than we found it. Iqbal Latif
