Beth's Story
Life
Graduated 1975 from Judson School. Attended Cal Poly, Pomona from 1975-1980. Since college I have been doing various things such as Manager for a large retail store, and then I got married. I have 2 daughters, aged 21 and 17. I am a single mom now and finished my teaching credential program and Master's Degree in Education. I taught elementary school in the Norco-Corona USD,and Alvord USD. I was injured in 2002, and am unable to teach now. I started a CA. nonprofit rescue for birds,horses, reptiles and farm animals. I have many rare animals, and bring them into schools. I teach a Life Science Enrichment program. I own several horses,and work to save the PMU horses from going to slaughter for human consumption.
We have rescued many,and they are in their forever homes now.
Well, 2000 came and I lost my darling Mother in August. Then, in 2001; 7 months almost to the day my Mother passed, I lost my wonderful Father. Things were not the same since. In 2005, I got word that my Brother had passed away while playing basketball with friends one March evening after work. This was so sudden. He died from a sudden heart attack. We didn't even know he had been having problems. After that, I moved from Norco to Apple Valley. I have a 5 acre ranch, and I was get...Expand for more
ting ready to teach again when I was injured by a sheep on the property. That sheep hit me so hard in the side he almost killed me. I had two broken ribs, and that started a whole bunch of health problems. So, now I am not able to teach anymore, and I midd it. In Feb. of this year I got the word that I had blood clots in my lungs. I was terrified, and still am very scared. I am on oxygen now full time, and can't work at all. So much negativity to report, but I wanted you all to know what was going on. I am trying to save my home from foreclosure. It is not easy. I don't know what am going to do money wise, because I need to work. I want to find something from home I can do, but so far nothing has come up. I am still ill, but getting better slowly. Growing old sucks you guys. I hate it. Here I thought I would live here and teach my classes to the local kids, and now I am not able to do that yet at all. I am tired of crying, tired of not being able to go places that I want to go to. My kids hardly see me anymore. They say that I live too far away. I am on my own now, and like the quiet, but still miss being with my kids. Please write to me and let me know how you are all doing. I miss all of you.
I am on Facebook as Bethee Newman-Dempsey. Love ya,Beth
