About Me

 My name is Darian, and I am a Junior at Texas State University, I am currently majoring in Education and plan to keep it that way as I know how much I love working with kids.

I also love my animals, I have 2 dogs and a cat that loves to steal the bed but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
