Josefa C. Salazar

Special education teacher at Oakland Middle School, Since 1983

  • 🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States
  • Oakland Middle School
  • Since 1983
  • English
I came to teaching late, after working as a waiter, and 43 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Over the years I've had 1,200 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
