The inspiring and timely story of Sonia Sotomayor, who rose up from a
childhood of poverty and prejudice to become the first Latino to be
nominated to the US Supreme Court.
Before Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took her seat in our
nation's highest court, she was just a little girl in the South Bronx.
Justice Sotomayor didn't have a lot growing up, but she had what she
needed -- her mother's love, a will to learn, and her own determination.
With bravery she became the person she wanted to be. With hard work she
succeeded. With little sunlight and only a modest plot from which to
grow, Justice Sotomayor bloomed for the whole world to see.
Antes de que la magistrada de la Corte Suprema Sonia Sotomayor llegara
al máximo tribunal de nuestra nación, no era más que una niñita en el
South Bronx. La magistrada Sotomayor no tuvo mucho durante sus primeros
años, pero sí tuvo lo que contaba -- el amor de su madre, la voluntad de
aprender y su propia determinación. Con valentía se hizo la persona que
quería ser. Con trabajo arduo triunfó. Con un poquito de sol en un
solarcito donde crecer, la magistrada Sotomayor floreció para que todo
el mundo la vea.
