Alumnus Frank Attains Auto Mechanic Certification

Our dear Cuban former classmate, Frank, became a certified Automotive Service Technician last month.



Frank was a submarine engineer before and had to start all over again when he landed in Toronto last year with his family. Working nights and attending LINC class by day, he slogged to keep his family together and to find a new line of work. One time, our coffee maker broke down--some genius had poured coffee grind into the water compartment--and Frank very kindly took the machine home, took it apart, and cleaned it up! So we continued to stay awake the rest of the term.

"Perhaps," writes Frank, his achievement "will serve to encourage other students to know that,  with hard work anything is possible."

I think it will. Congratulations, Frank! You're quite an inspiration to the rest of us.

(If anyone would like to contact Frank, call (416) 273-8855 and mention him by name!)
