Roberts was born at Torrejon (Air Base), Spain, just outside of Madrid. He played outside linebacker for two years at Jack- sonville State University, then transferred to Alabama A&M University where he graduated with his bachelor of science de- gree in urban planning with a minor in sociology. He gradu- ated from the University of Central Florida with his master’s of education degree in Exceptional Student Education and also earned his certification in autism spectrum disorder. He served for 11 years as union organizer for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the National Treasury Employees Union. As an educator, Roberts is starting his seventh year in the Seminole County Public School System. He has mentored against juvenile delinquency, and served as a 21st century teacher for six years at the Boys and Girls Club at the Sanford Westside Community Center. He is married and is the father of three boys. Roberts and Peterson are featured side-by-side to begin their walk of solidarity and synchronized vision of hope. Like the Photo contributed Richard “Pete” Peterson and Ted Roberts are teachers at Lake Howell High School. left and right nostrils, they breathe as one. Like the ring finger decorated with precious diamonds that brings glory to the whole hand, each is celebrated in his own right. Like the eagle against the sky, one spreads his wings and the other provides the air. When one flashes his cheekbone, the other produces a smile. When one stomps the pavement, the other fastens his shoelaces. When one is the rod of authority and correction, the other becomes the staff of gentle comfort and guidance. When one pushes, the other pulls. Together, they’re the fulcrum of a well-balanced seesaw. They are like the keys of the piano har- monizing to the melody of one spirit. Side-by-side, their sincere desire is to do good, to seek peace, and to serve humanity well!” (by Richard “Pete” Peterson).
