My parents only spoke Spanish, and were unable to help me with my school assignments. As I struggled with my academics silently, my self-consciousness and insecurities grew. The fear of speaking out in public was a lingering shadow that developed more, as I grew older. Being that English was my second language, I had always felt inferior to those who spoke English as their primary language.

Hello. I am Sonia Maria Sotomayor, the first Latina Supreme Court Justice in U.S history. As of today, I am 62-years-old and am still a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
