President's Message

 

Thank you for participating in PRTESOL’s 36th Annual Convention and our 40th Anniversary Celebration as an affiliate of TESOL International.  Our event was a huge success! 
 

We must continue to choose the right road and move forward. We must take some bold new steps to make fundamental changes in our teaching to guarantee the academic achievement of our students.
 

The only thing constant about the future is that it will continue to change.  If there is one thing that we as teachers cannot and should not do, it is to remain the same.  In the "Winds of Change", we cannot always direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails and make changes in our course towards the academic and professional success of our students and ourselves.
 

I am grateful to God who has given me the talent, strength, courage, persistence, and guidance in all my endeavors.  I appreciate the collaboration of all of you who in some way joined forces for the success of this event.
 

Thank you for being part of the change and for transforming tomorrow through PRTESOL.  May the Lord continue to bless us. Amen.
 

Miguel Camacho,
2009 PRTESOL President
