Go has helped me grow. 

 

Now, I share it with classmates, younger kids, and children with autism.

​

Go has taught me how small, thoughtful moves can create big change.

 

When I first taught students with autism, I faced silence and uncertainty, an empty board with no moves. Yet, as an empty Go board fills one move at a time, our classes slowly came alive with connection and understanding. Later, I founded a Go club at school and a program at my local library, watching empty rooms fill with curiosity and purpose.

 

Through these experiences, I’ve learned that progress isn’t made by sudden leaps, but by steady, intentional actions that inspire others to move together.

 

Challenges no longer discourage me. They remind me that every problem, like every game, has a solution waiting to be found. I want to keep learning, sharing, and shaping a world where one small move, one thoughtful act, can transform the board for everyone.
