Teaching Chess and Life

When I was reading the story i had a connection of the story when he said like people passing little packages that could been known as a ghetto neighborhood i use to live in a ghetto neighborhood were there was just a group of people just there standing to the side of a house just there looking at you like if you're passing there territory but there were houses around so the people that live in that neighborhood  would be known as there territory to threes other ways like going to the peoples houses asking money for protection or for living there that could be some of the ways that he would see that neighborhood.

He join the chess team as to stay out of trouble i didn't make that choice when i went to a school were there were not that many gang bangers but there was all ways tables that were ghetto i did the choice of just hang out with them but i didn't do nothing bad but just hang out with them that's one connection i had with him his choice was to stay a way i had the choice just hang out with them connection as doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing to do.

  1. Alex, You do a great job of not only writing about the story but making the connection to your own story by talking about your neighborhood. Make sure that you always make your personal i a capital letter. Keep up the great work! You give great detail to your connections!
