Stacey Kramer's Gift
I was recently introduced to TED talks by a few people (my boyfriend, a roommate and a professor) and decided to look around the website and see if any of the videos interested me. There are lots about the economy or health, etc... but this is one is different. It's one of the shorter ones (less than 6 minutes long) but I think it has an incredibly powerful message. I'm not going to give away what Stacey Kramer's Gift is but she gives a different perspective to her "gift" than most people would. Take a look:
Now that you know what her Gift is, would you consider it a Gift? Still not convinced? Watch The Last Lecture by Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch and see what he has to say about this Gift:
Their Gifts are definitely not traditional gifts but they are definitely life changing opportunities. They gave them the door to open to a world full of love and caring and a realization that you should always look for the light in a dark situation.

2011 VTRelay Shirts!!
This years shirt is available for purchase at the campus bookstores!! They are $10 and the proceeds go directly to VTRelay.
I think this year's shirt is awesome! "Invent the Cure" is a fantastic play on the school's slogan of "Invent the Future" where we strive to develop new technologies and lead the way in innovation. So what better slogan than "Invent the Cure"for a Relay For Life event that has led the way for years now as the number one collegiate event?!
Buy yours today!!
