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!
