The first elementary school I ever taught chess at in 2018. It was a struggle for me at the beginning, but worth it. I always said, “without struggle there is no progress”. I taught 4th & 5th graders during the school day. I also taught 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graders during lunch period to keep them on point too.
This program is so valuable for our youth. Chess is not just a game, it also teaches critical life skills. These skills will help set the participants up for success.
There need to be more people like him in the community. Not only did he help me with my three kids by teaching them chess, when I was struggling mentally & financially he recommended places for me to contact to get help. How many people you know do that? He’s God’s blessing!.
