Darcy's Story
Hi Everyone!
I never thought I would post anything on "Classmates" but, why not? Life has been eventful. I got my Associates Degree from Moorpark College and worked for an insurance company in Canoga Park until '97. After my mother begged, pleaded, threatened, etc. I returned to college, earning a Bachelor of Arts in French from Eastern Kentucky University.
After graduation (my mother and step-father were trying to marry me off to anything in pants), I moved to New Jersey and taught Special Education in Newark, New Jersey for 7 years. In that time period, I also earned a Masters in Special Education from the University of Phoenix. Eventually, I was teaching science (i.e. Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science, etc.). and qualified for the "Teach Grant" and a scholarship to study for a second masters. This time, I attended Western Governors University and majored in in "Geo Sciences".
Some may ask, why so much schooling? Well as an educator, I need...Expand for more
ed the first masters for special education and the second in science to continue as a science teacher. In fact, I found a love of learning later in life (also proud of myself for not giving up).
In 2006 I married "Colonel Daniel James Giaquinto". He is retired from the New Jersey National Guard and Airforce. Nine months after the wedding (surprise) our daughter Daniella was born. She is eleven now, an honor student, and rides saddlebreds (horses). Last year, she was "High Point Champion" in her division. However, if she wants to compete in horse shows, she has to remain on the honor role. In addition to our daughter riding, we also have a horse "Krissy". She is an Anglo-Arabian and a cherished member of the family.
In 2012, we moved to Lexington, KY. I have been a stay-at-home parent and my husband retired from his career in Aerospace. It's taken time (doesn't everything), but life is good and I am grateful.
Cheers, love, and light to everyone.
