According to MSNBC:
A graduate of Princeton University and Yale Law School, a former prosecutor and private attorney, [Sonia] Sotomayor became a federal judge for the Southern District of New York in 1992. She became an appeals judge in 1998 for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, which covers New York, Vermont and Connecticut. (For more, click here).It is appealing that she worked her way from very modest means to a Princeton scholarship and the position in which she finds herself today.
It is not so much that Sonia Sotomayor is a woman or Hispanic, but rather proof positive that anyone can accomplish their life goals if they put their mind, heart and soul into the process no matter their circumstances - much like our President.
In a perfect world, someone's race, gender or religious affiliation should not be a consideration during any point in their professional or personal lives.
