00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:07,200
My name is Tony, I am forty, just turned 
forty-seven years of age

2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,400
I work two Jobs

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:16,900
My disability is spinal cord injury from 
a fall off a balcony

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,700
I was eighteen at the time when I had the 
accident, pretty much everything in your 
life changes

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,700
In order for me to live out in the community, 
I live by myself

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,400
I have to; I get assistance on a day-to-day 
basis

7
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:39,000
Having a care package, which gives me 35 
hours a week

8
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:46,500
Allows me to live by myself and be as independent 
as I can

9
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,600
My interests would be getting out and going 
to the movies from time to time

10
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:59,400
Going out to restaurants, I like to see bands

11
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:05,000
What I would look for in a carer would be 
someone who is

12
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:14,500
Fairly open minded and mainly just has a 
good attitude

13
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:21,400
I suppose I would say someone who’s a people 
person, who you can have a chat with

14
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:29,100
As you would anyone and someone that is willing 
to just learn on the job

15
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,500
I had any particular goals it would be just 
probably to do a little bit of travelling

16
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,100
People with disabilities are just like anyone 
else

17
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,000
they just want to be able to get out and 
do everything that everyone else does
