Dear students,
I am honored to be your Cybersecurity instructor this year. I hope you've had a great summer despite all the craziness around us. I remember when I was a kid many moons ago, back to school was one of the most exciting things for me. I couldn't wait to meet my bodies and my beloved teachers. I was also very excited to meet my new teachers and make new friends. I am sure it's been the same for you, but this year is special. You may feel things differently - actually, it's okay if you feel that way and you're not alone. How about your parents? As a father of two teenagers, I share their apprehension and concerns.
You may have dozens of questions spinning right now in your head, so do I. We're all frustrated and angry because sadly no one can actually provide the answers. However, despite all the circumstances, I firmly believe that 2020-2021 can be a wonderful and memorable school year. It's up to all of us to make it happen. It requires us to work together as a community to protect and support each other. There'll be changes (lots of changes): wearing your mask at all times, keeping social distance, having less interactions with your friends and so on. So, to repeat after Jimmy Dean "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination". Yes, this is the perfect time to adjust our sails to keep moving despite all the turbulence around us. Either in person or through distance learning, your senior year can still be an enjoyable experience if you're willing to adjust your attitude toward these changes. As Maya Angelou nicely put it "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." We can't change the course of COVID-19 at least for now, but we're determined to remain positive, optimistic, and focus on the best gift of your life: access to top quality education at PCTA, your leading career and technical school across the region. I look forward to meeting you all and I am sure that you cannot wait likewise to reconnect with the PCTA community.
Finally, here's this week inspirational quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward”.
