Joni Smith:  

2000 and continued to work at the college on contract until july, 2007. My ex-husband and I split up in 1999, having no children. I, then married a guy who was also a military brat, Steve Smith. I was diagnosed with a form of muscular dystrophy in 1977, am in a wheelchair. My life physically has been a struggle, to say the least, but i've learned so much because of it. it has changed my life in a very good way. I try to be positive about every aspect of life. I am a romantic at heart. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to dream; I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like the country's peace; I like beautiful lakes, I like gourmet food and designer shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I love to laugh. We all have many choices in life, and mine is to be happy. I have rekindled old friendships because of classmates.com and keep searching for the special people that helped my years growing up, much more pleasurable!
