Cheryl Bennett:  

I'm a lifetime member of the Marietta Jaycees and I'm a member of the Georgia Rebel Corp. I DJ'd for a number of years. Those were probably some of the happiest years in my life, I loved "bringing" the party! I enjoyed seeing people happy! (People are funny when they've been drinking) As my body has twisted, turned, broken, knotted, been realigned and replaced by surgeries, and turned even more; the expectations of my life continues to change. I often feel trapped in a body that insist on being a bit sideways, slow and awkward. I'm easily broken so the activities of my youth are out of the question. I'm confined to the sidelines of life, watching others play in a way that is no longer possible for me. Thanks to the influence of my kids, I love Art Museums and the Symphony. I truely enjoy watching my family and friends do the things I can't. I find a great comfort in their happiness. I love music and I love to sing. I wish that I could work in a garden again. The satisfaction of seeing a rose bloom or seeing that first tomato turn red or picking beans from your garden, mmm...there's nothing like it. I used to love to fly in small airplanes. The excitement from low level flying was awesome. I enjoy life. Whether it be on the sidelines or in the middle of it. I'm grateful for my life. It might not be what some think as grand, but I wouldn't change a thing!".
