For Robert M. Shoemaker High School student Sarah Hernandez, whose family is Salvadoran, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the hard work, sacrifice and resilience that have shaped her future. 🇸🇻
Growing up, Sarah saw firsthand how much her parents worked and sacrificed to create opportunities for her. Their example inspired her to push herself and choose a path centered on service.
“Now, as I get ready to go into the U.S. Air Force, I’m proud to carry their legacy with me and prove that all their hard work was worth it.”
Currently participating in JROTC, Sarah says her family’s perseverance continues to motivate her as she prepares for the next chapter.
📸 KISD students and staff, we want to share your story, too! Tell us what Hispanic heritage means to you and how it has shaped your perspective, goals or career path.
Submit your photo and reflection here:
