> Hey! My name is Gloria! I am not disabled; I am differently enabled. I am living my best life without sight.
> 
> I am a hard-working mom of one son. His name is Justin and he is 25 years old. I am married to the love of my life, Larry Cherry. I enjoy cooking, traveling, and going on cruises.  Being on a boat is my favorite mode of travel. I have been to the Bahamas, Cozumel, Grand Cayman Islands, Belize, and Honduras. I even went to Disney's Private Island. It is like being on Gilligan’s Island. I enjoy reading and trivia games. One of my favorite trivia games is Jeopardy.
> 
> I was born in Linden, Alabama. I moved to Philadelphia in 1973 and then moved to Chesapeake, Virginia before moving back to the wonderful City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia)  in 2004. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's of Arts in English writing.
> 
> The atmosphere of the Willing Workers and the ability to network is how I became a member of the Community Service Division. There is so much camaraderie of those who are supportive, caring, and loving. I am new to learning about blindness and what is available, and being involved with the Willing Workers can help me expand my knowledge base. It has also helped me realize that despite my vision loss, I can still be helpful to others: whether to motivate, skills training, be a listening ear, and especially to those who are new.
> 
> I am a former Girl Scout, very active in my church, and I help Children with autism. I encourage the parents and help them to understand how to assist their children. I love to Get people to see that even though I might have challenges I can do whatever my heart wishes to do. I might not be able to drive a car but I can do just about anything else.
> 
> Join our division’s family of brotherly love and sisterly affection, power, and respect!
