Title: Wonderful Life Montage

00:01
[On Screen text: We asked some OHOA Module developers to finish the statement,
"I think a wonderful life for any person would include..."]
00:09
SPEAKER 1 (FEMALE):
I think a wonderful life for anybody would include love.
Love for self, love for others, and experience.
00:20
SPEAKER 2 (FEMALE):
Being happy,
being loved,
being respected,
having an opportunity to just experience all kinds of new things and to
always have a dream and to dream big,
and to maybe carve at least a little piece of that dream out, to make it be a reality.
00:40
SPEAKER 3 (FEMALE):
To have the independence to go after those dreams in whatever independence
that looks like for the individual to have that autonomy,
but also to have love and to feel love and to love another person.
And however we set that up to be able to have that best opportunity for ourselves.
I hope that for all people.
00:59
SPEAKER 4 (FEMALE):
I think a wonderful life for any person includes,
doing things you love with people you love.
01:07
SPEAKER 5 (MALE):
People need to feel that they are a part of the communities in which they live
from their family, to the neighborhood, to their school, to the grocery store that they go to.
People want to go to all those different places where they are and feel like when they walk in
that somehow they're a real person.
01:28
SPEAKER 6 (FEMALE):
[Speaker signing ASL]
What makes a wonderful life is being with other people.
Seeing other people, feeling other people.
Sharing experiences with other people
If I am alone and I have a great time, that's one thing, but you want to talk about it with other people.
So fine, do talk about it with other people but it's really cool to share fun
experiences with other people. That's the best.
01:52
SPEAKER 7 (FEMALE):
Being valued and respected as a human being, and being allowed to be a part of their community no matter what,
or who they are. Just an acceptance that they're a human being.
02:08
SPEAKER 8 (FEMALE):
I think that a wonderful life for anyone would include acceptance.
02:15
SPEAKER 9 (FEMALE):
Acceptance of the reality.
You know sometimes we, you know, make up things in our mind
and wish things were different
but you know accepting things you know, the way they are
for our own sake, I think is crucial.
02:35
SPEAKER 10 (FEMALE):
For me, a good and happy life is having somebody who knows me
and loves me anyway, and respects what I do.
02:47
SPEAKER 11 (FEMALE):
First of all, good health. A wonderful family, the support that all of us, we need.
To have stability, to have peace in your life and to be very happy in your own skin.
03:04
SPEAKER 12 (FEMALE):
Connection with your family, I think it includes feeling loved and giving love.
I think it's about having choices
and having freedom to do things that you like to do and you want to do.
03:20
SPEAKER 13 (FEMALE):
I think that a wonderful life for any person
evolves around respect
because I think that out of that will follow so many other great things.

that supports people who are deaf-blind to have happy, self-determined lives.]
