  5. Several significant people lived through the hard times in their life. One of the many important people is Sonia Sotomayor. Like many considerable people, Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Bronx-born Puerto Rican is an embodiment of the American Dream, working hard since childhood to rise from poverty to wealth and influence. She got to where she is now by working hard every single day, and looking forward to her future with the help of her mother, Celina (Baez) Sotomayor. However, her nomination is not without controversy. Many citizens, especially white Americans disagreed to have a Hispanic in the government, as they were still trying to adjust to our first black president, President Barack Obama. She became an inspiration and a role model to many Hispanics around the world and to me.

  11. Many children growing up have difficulties with realationships with their parents because they have a much larger family , and its difficult to understand that its extreamly hard for 2 parents to give all their attention to one child , some get lost in the situation and have a break down but more wiser childer plan to put that besides and teach them selves those kids get far in life and plan to go beyond further than what theyre aiming for , most of the kide who patentialy get lost in this "situation" lose focus in school.
    Sandra Cisneros is one of those people she was self taught but got further than many of us would have the guts to even try. Many kids should take her as a challenge if she could get where she stands today as a marvelouse author who didnt have the advantage to FEEL the common suport other children felt but yet, she understood the world didnt evolve around her .
