“Love from others, keep me going.” This
was the 6 words that I chose for my memoir after reading Sonia Sotomayor’s
book, “My Beloved World.” I chose these 6 words because I have faced a lot of
struggles in my life and the people around me really help me get through
everything. Without the support and love from my community and friends and
family. I wouldn’t make it through any struggles that I face.
While reading Sonia Sotomayor’s
auto biography, she had faced some may struggles in her life as well. I believe
this is one of the reasons that it was a required book for freshman to read.
She was faced with poverty and the stereotype of the minority yet she still
succeeded in life. I think that this is supposed to show freshman that, no
matter what obstacles are put upon us, in life or in college, that we can
succeed and become whatever we want, if we just put in the effort and keep our
hopes high.
I enjoyed reading the beginning of
the book with her struggles because I could relate to everything, maybe not
that exact situation, but I could relate with the feeling of being put down and
at your lowest, but having to overcome it, faced with many obstacles.
Though the end of the book might
have been very well written and explained her life very well, I didn’t have the
same connection as I did with the beginning of the book. I couldn’t relate to
many of the things she was saying, so I felt a little more disconnected and a
smaller desire to read the rest of the book. So though it could have been very well
written, I felt more disconnected, so that’s why I didn’t enjoy it as much.
