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!
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..
It’s a blessing to have Mr. Romeo in our community. I have a store and sometimes his youth comes in and helps us out with stocking items. He’s be very helpful when we needed him.
