Going to Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s lecture was
definitely serious business. There was security at the entrances and they held
bag checks to assure her maximum safety. I was very excited just to know I was
going to be in the same room as someone of such high importance. Regardless of
her social status Sonia seemed very humble and friendly. I enjoyed listening to
her advice and I liked how some of the things she mentioned about failure,
success, and perseverance tied directly into what we have previously discussed
in class. It helped to emphasize the things that are vital in completing
college and achieving our dreams. Sonia’s experience is very inspirational because
it shows an extreme example of how it’s possible to accomplish incredible
things in spite the presence of many hardships and disadvantages. I am glad
that I was fortunate enough to attend this event, and I hope that some of
Sonia’s success could rub off on me.
