4. Adriana Cantu – Assistant Principal Tornillo Intmediate Dr. Cortez, 2/13/07 I hope you still remember me, Adriana Cantu. I passed the TExES in December, and I am super happy that I jumped over that hurdle. I didn’t quite have the opportunity of thanking you for helping me. Not only did I learn the importance of being data driven, but I also learned how to be an effective leader. I know I would not have been able to pass the TExES if it wasn’t for you and Dr. Sorenson. After becoming certified, I became an official assistant principal. Your ever thankful student, Adriana Cantu

5. Esther Carroll Good morning Dr. Cortez, The review last Saturday was excellent! The practice test was an excellent representation of the real test and the review was well organized. The review this past Saturday was 100% better than the previous reviews I attended. If I knew how well organized and helpful they were I would have attended all of them. As you suggested last Saturday, I will attend this Saturday and take another practice exam. at 9:00 a.m. Thank you for all your help and suggestions; You have been very helpful! Have a great weekend, Esther Carroll
