IRB Intro Post #1

For the first marking period, I am choosing to read the book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. This novel is about Mitch Albom and his sudden and meaningful connection with his old professor, Morrie Shwartz. Albom sees his old professor being interviewed on a television show and is compelled to reconnect with him. Although, Shwartz is very ill and does not have much time left to rekindle an old connection. With the time that Shwartz has left, Albom visits him each Tuesday to discuss a new life lesson. I selected this book because I think the perspective that a wise man on the verge of death has on life will be very different and new to me. I hope to gain a sense of appreciation for my own life and to discover new lessons life has to offer.
