If I had 27 days left to live I’d give a speech based on my upcoming books research. Check it out, something alittle different.

Interesting question. I’m not going to write a speech (too many demands on my time), but here goes with some quick answers.

What would you tell your class?
Introduce myself, it was a large class, say that I have 27 days to live, and a short explanation of why I’m on a definite countdown.

What words of wisdom would you impart to your class?
I’m a devout Catholic, so I would explain, as efficiently as possible, why, and how, i am preparing for my imminent death: and why this is, in a way, a wonderful opportunity for cleaning up my act.

Assuming, of course, that I could get away with that sort of statement. You did say ‘a college class.’

How would you say goodbye?
“Goodbye.”

Any other ideas?
I’d probably try to make some sort of witticism. Haven’t a clue, what, at this point.

Dude, that’s a toughie. I don’t know what the heck I would say. Probably talk to them about how they need to live life for themselves and not according to anyone else’s wishes. In the end, you only have one life, and when you live it to please someone else, you’re not getting enough out of it. If more young people understood that, they’d lead a lot happier lives.
