1. i wish people without disabilities would treat the deaf, hoh, blind, physically disabled and people with mental illnesses normally and not discriminate against them.
2. i wish i didn't have bipolar disorder. i hate how my rapid cycling causes severe mood swings on an hourly basis and i can never predict how i'm going to feel from one minute to the next.
3. i wish i could clone tigger. even though tigger is my second guide dog, she is one of the best dogs i've ever had. she's affectionate, intelligent, willing to please and has a calm, friendly disposition.
4. i wish i knew in advance that i would have the finances necessary to receive my ph.d. as you know, attending college is expensive nowadays and there's no guarantee that i will be able to afford this level of education.
5. i wish there were no such thing as child abusers, animal abusers, rapists or murderers.
6. i wish we could all get along in the world without having to resort to violent behavior against others.
7. i wish people would continue to exercise acts of kindness that they show during the christmas holiday year round.
8. i wish i had access to every print book, manual and document that was ever published. i'm a veracious reader and not everything is accessible to me as a totally blind person (or others who are legally blind).
9. i wish there were no such thing as physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
10. i wish adaptive equipment (especially for the blind) weren't so expensive.
