Hello! My name is Dara! Ten interesting things about are:*


              Hello! My name is Darabeth! Ten interesting (and personal?) things about are:

1.      I have been a vegetarian since I was 5 years old, by choice, but I consume dairy so I am a “Lacto Vegetarian”. All my siblings are vegetarian also.

2.      I am a 41-year-old adult student who is having my first college experience (I started when I was 39). I used to hate school, but now I cannot get enough of learning!

3.      I have an 11-year-old dog Blu, who has kidney cancer so she had a Nephrectomy in March (she only has one kidney). I also have 3 cats, Seymour, Sid, and Simone. I never owned a cat until I was 40 because I hate litter boxes.

4.      I own my own townhouse in the O******* community and have lived here for over 4 years. I was born in Greensboro, but moved to Charlotte when I was 3. I have had brief stints in Lake Bluff, IL, Sumter, SC, Charleston, SC, and Stallings, NC, but always find myself back in Mecklenburg County! This is my 15th place of residence, I have moving down to a science.

5.      I work as a Veterinary Technician and hope to start as second job as a server, but have had pervious careers in Property Management and Floor Covering. I started in veterinary in 2004.

6.      I am obsessed with and practice Yoga, Meditation, and am being treated by a Reiki Master. I am undergoing dry needling weekly (like acupuncture) for a neurological condition called “Cervical Dystonia”. I am not new age, but love exploring other cultures and trying new things. What works, works!

7.      I will graduate from CPCC after this semester with an Associate in Arts and transfer to Queens college for my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing or Education. I was dead set on Nursing at first because that is what I do for animals, but love English, Religion, and History so much, I am strongly considering changing my major so that I can teach one of them when I graduate. If I could choose to obtain my perfect degree, I would get one in the “Philosophy of Religion”.

8.      I have 11 tattoos, the last one took nine hours and two sessions in April, and have or have had 18 piercings (I no longer wear them all). I love body art and have been adding to my collection since I was 14. My hair changes color frequently because I like to change it up! I will probably still find things to cover or change when I am in Depends! Ha-ha!

9.      I am the oldest of 4 siblings, all who are now back living in NC. My sisters are a high school math teacher and a professor of “Early Childhood Development” and my brother has sells medical equipment and pharmaceuticals for a well-known company. I have an almost 3-year-old niece and a recently turned 5-year-old nephew. (They are all WAY more interesting than me)!

10.  I have been married and divorced twice. Hoping the third time is a charm, but am currently very happily single!
