Hints:
Moses
Promised Land
Alice
In my last lecture, I mentioned that I now have a better understanding of the story of Moses, and how he got to see the Promised Land but never got to set foot in it. I feel that way about all the successes ahead for Alice. I wanted my lecture to be a call to my colleagues and students to go on without me, and to know I have confidence that they will do great things. You can keep tabs on their progress at . Through Alice, millions of kids are going to have incredible fun while learning something hard. They'll develop skills that could help them achieve their dreams. If I have to die, I am comforted by having Alice as a professional legacy. So, it's OK that I won't set foot in the Promised Land. It's still a wonderful sight.
