Teaching Chess at Public School 78

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!

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!.
