[VIDEO DESC/ TRANSCRIPT:
Black screen with a white text fades in and out: “Explore”, “Day 1”

Lily wakes up on the ground. There is snow outside. Lily is puzzled. She gets up and looks around. There are other people lying around outside, also waking up puzzled. All of them are walking towards each other.

A close up on Lily: “Who are you?”
Everybody looks confused. Hezeki: “I don’t know.”
Javon: “Do I know you?”
Trey, puzzled: “There’s snow… I’m not in Texas.”
Aliza: “I don’t know!”
Hazim: “I don’t know who you are. Why is everyone here?”
Tiffany: “Why are we here?”
Lilly looks to Tiffany: “I’m so cold.” They both shivers. Tiffany: “There’s a house! Let’s go!” All the kids run towards the building.

They arrive to the door. Caprani: “Should I go ahead and open?”
Everybody: “Yes, go ahead!” Everybody enters the building.

Lily and Trey points at someone. Trey comes up to a tall man, Linsay Darnall Jr. Linsay Jr. smiles and looks at Trey. Trey steps back and says: “Why are here?”

Linsay Jr. nods. “Why are you here? People from across the U.S. are here for the Jr. NAD National Conference. This conference is all all about learning, studying, and building leadership. After this conference, we will go back to our homes and continue building deaf America. Together, we can succeed. We will teach you to become leaders.” Linsay Jr. smiles and walks away. All students stare at him.

Linsay Jr. looks back. “Remember, always lift each other.” He gives a thumbs up and walks away. The students continue to stare. Tony: “Wow”. The video fades to black.
