On September 22nd I attended a community-global awareness workshop on our newest Supreme Court Judge, Sonia Sotomayor. I went because my teacher mentioned it in class and I figured it would count as a workshop. There were three professors speaking and one of them was my history teacher, Julie Des Jardin. I didn’t expect it to be as interesting as it was. I ended up learning a lot about Stotmayor’s upbringing in the Bronx and about her life before the Supreme Court. The professors spoke about how the media covers a woman in the Supreme Court as opposed to the way it covers men, and how race can be a large factor for job seekers. I would recommend this workshop because it wasn’t as boring as a regular lecture, the speakers kept my interest, and if you’re like me and don’t follow politics, you really learn about Sotomayor and the media.
