At
first I was dreading going to this talk because it was the night of my
birthday, but afterwards I has happy that I went. It was interesting to hear
that on some degree Sonia Sotomayor was going through the same thing as me. I am
the first one in my family to go to college, and in the back of my mind I always
feel like there is someone rooting for me to fail. Sonia’s talk was inspiring
for me because that even though there were people attacking her, telling her
that she wasn't smart enough, she didn't let them win, she persisted on and
proved them wrong. During the talk she also gave some good advice for us, she
suggested that we don’t just take the courses that we have to, but also take
ones that seem interesting to us, and that will help us to become a more
well-rounded and developed person. I was happy that this talk was mandatory,
and I definitely got more out of it than I thought I was going to.
