One of the oldest teachers in the country has decided to retire.

Rose Gilbert is 94 years old and has decided it's time to retire.  She's been a fulltime teacher in Los Angeles for over six decades.

The kids call here Mama G.  She says she wanted to be a teacher from the time she was in the first grade.

Her plan now is to volunteer at a health care clinic and domestic violence shelter.

So why retire now?  She thought it was time before she was too old to do something else.
