Every elementary school student I taught chess is special to me. While teaching at Public School 78 I hit a special milestone. I reached 500 elementary students in a school setting.
I attended their graduation and they broke my heart by surprising me with a cardboard poster with cards. They communicated how grateful they were for the work I did with them. I helped them control their behavior and increase their focus.
Some students even said they wanted to be a chess instructor!
My name is Goodwin I’m a single parent father with two kids. I met Romeo three years ago while playing in the park with my son and daughter. He approached me to tell me about his events. He ask me was these my kids and I reply that I was a single parent. First thing he said was he admired me for stepping up to the plate because we’re living in a society where men is not recognized as dads but father’s. I appreciate what he said and we been in contact with each other since then. He taught my children and help me to become a better man through interactions and conversations. God Bless him!
I’m a senior, I’m 76 years old. I met Mr. Romeo last year. He taught 18 seniors at the library chess. People say we are difficult to work with, but it seem easy for him. We always happy with smiles on our faces when we know he’s coming to teach all of us. He texts us to see how we are doing and let us know what events that are coming up that my benefit us. He has a warm & caring heart. I pray for him to have continue success because god blesses those who blesses others..
