Who Is Sonia Sotomayor?
Who Is Sonia Sotomayor? | Megan Stine, Who Hq
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
The truly inspiring story of the first Latina Supreme Court Justice. Outspoken, energetic, and fun, Sonia Sotomayor has managed to turn every struggle in life into a triumph. Born in the Bronx to immigrant parents from Puerto Rico, Sonia found out at age nine that she had diabetes, a serious illness now but an even more dangerous one fifty years ago. How did young Sonia handle the devastating news? She learned to give herself her daily insulin shots and became determined to make the most out of her life. It was the popular sixties TV show Perry Mason that made Sonia want to become a lawyer. Not only a lawyer, but a judge! Her remarkable career was capped in 2009 when President Barack Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court, only the third woman and first Hispanic justice in the court's history. Stories of Sotomayor's career are hardly dry legal stuff--she once hopped on a motorcycle to chase down counterfeiters and was the judge whose ruling ended the Major League baseball strike in 1995.

This NF novel about Sonia Sotomayor is about her life growing up and the struggles that she faced being Hispanic. Then she was chosen to be on the Supreme Court which made her the first Hispanic and third woman to sit on the Supreme Court. This series is a great way to incorporate reading along with social studies. This book would work well as a LC or PR. #UCFLAE3414F19

DrSpalding All of this series would be considered biography! Of course it‘s non-fiction but nonfiction about a person is considered a biography. Excellent resource… You need to expand on how you would use it. 4y
