Roberto Socrates Chauca

Just a few days ago, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Chauca. I was training the Math Department at his school, on how to use their new interactive white boards. Ms. Chauca was sharp, quick...I was impressed on how he had self-taught himself to become proficient with this new equipment. You never know who can make an impact in your life. He had further questions and I visited him in his class where we got to speak further. In my observation of resources that he had created to teach his students and enhance their learning, dedication was evident. I learned how he and I shared the same nationality, his determination to come to the United States in his later 40's and leave behind a career as a Systems Engineer to provide a better future for his daughters with his wife. He shared with me how, "I'm not a millennial...but you have to keep up with technology." He was such a pleasant person to briefly get to know. I am saddened by his loss, but inspired by his life story. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

Thank you for sharing Mr. Chauca with us here at Miami Carol City Senior High School. Mr. Chauca was a very kind and well respected here at the school. If there was something to be done he did it will no questions asked. He was not only my co-worker he was my friend. I am going to miss him dearly. My condolences to the family.

Mr. Chauca was a humble man. As his neighboring teacher, I looked up to him and used him as a model for how to be dedicated to one's craft. He was kind, gentle, helpful, humble, and sharp. He was a role model for many. I will miss him. His legacy will live on in me, and every person he touched. During this time of grief, I can only hope that there's some room for happy memories and touching stories. Despite the sadness, I want to celebrate and honor his life with you. He loved music. He loved upbeat music too. I'm sure he would want us all to be happy, and memorialize him not solely with grief in our hearts, but with joy and smiles as well.
