- Success
is defined by who we are, what we believe in, and what we think it means
to be successful. For some it is money; for others it could be
relationships, family, jobs, religion, or education. I believe that
success is reaching my own personal dreams. I'm not done with my dreams,
but know that I have been successful so far because I've worked toward my
goals regardless of my disability. (college student who is deaf)
- Success
is possessing the capability for self-determination. Self determination is
the ability to decide what I want to do with my life, and then to act on
that decision. (high school student who is blind)
- A
successful life is one where I can be actively engaged in creative
activities that make a contribution to the lives of others. Success is a
kind of by-product and NOT an end in itself! (professor who is blind)
- To me, having a successful life is being able to do things independently for myself, and not always have someone there to do things for me. It's achieving my goals on my own terms and at my own pace. (high school student with a mobility and orthopedic impairment)
