Hello John!
“Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for reflection,” says Frank Lara. Not only is
it a time to embrace where we’ve come from, but also it is a time to challenge
where we are going as a community. This is also the moment to honor those before
us upon whose shoulders we stand.
Frank is a 5th-grade public school teacher in San Francisco’s Mission District
who shares his experience as an educator and his love for being a mentor.
What are we looking for in our life’s purpose? What is it that we want to achieve
for our communities to make them better today and for the future? These are the
questions upon which Frank’s story invites us to reflect. For Frank, Latino
representation in school classrooms is very important and it helps him foster a
special connection with his students who remind him of himself as a child. He
believes that we can help Latino students through positive encouragement to
continue to learn and do better, especially through the hardships of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Frank’s first hand testimony highlights, with an optimistic perspective, the
power of storytelling. The stories of those who came before him, helped Frank
find healing through cultural anchors and purpose through self-discovery. Now, he
challenges us to find ways to make those stories and others relevant to the next
generation.
