Sonia Sotomayar: 1st Latina Supreme Court Justice

Describe three or more challenges Sonia faced growing up that she overcame.
She had Diabetes at 8.
Her father past away when she was 9.
She didn't know how to speak fluent English.

What is the U.S. Supreme Court and why is this such a victory for Latinas everywhere?

The United States Supreme Court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices. At its discretion, and within certain guidelines established by Congress, the Supreme Court each year hears a limited number of the cases it is asked to decide. Those cases may begin in the federal or state courts, and they usually involve important questions about the Constitution or federal law.

I think that it's such a victory for Latinas because not that many Latinas are that successful.


I admire her because she didnt let all the obstacles in her life didnt stop her.
