21 years teaching social studies in Oakland

🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States

I came to teaching late, after working as a bank clerk, and 36 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. I ran the science fair after school and some of my proudest moments happened there. I'm always reading two books at once. I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.
