9I.20: Sonia Sotomayor's Visit



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.
