Fact

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor
"With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. And that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects."

Achievement

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor
"Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich."

Life

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor
"I was raised in a Bronx public housing project, but studied at two of the nation's finest universities. I did work as an assistant district attorney, prosecuting violent crimes that devastate our communities."

Work

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor
"I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences."

Life

Quote_1.png
Sonia Sotomayor
"Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging."
