Be Someone

One Mother’s Story

When her 17-year-old son, Robert, stopped coming home at night, Debra Curry was desperate. She knew he was spending time with kids who were into drugs and guns, that he was on a path to self-destruction.

She called Orrin Hudson and later introduced him to Robert. Orrin began teaching him chess and through that exercise, Robert learned that every move has a consequence. It wasn’t long before he began to apply that lesson to his life.

Two years later, Robert was enrolled at Georgia Perimeter College to study nursing. Robert says practicing chess through Orrin’s Be Someone program taught him to stop, think, and carefully consider his decisions—and their consequences.
