8B A Story In 6 Words

                                       Life always brings ups and downs.

Sonia Sotomayor's memoir, My Beloved World, was a memoir that gave a real life story of someone who had so many struggles in their life that conquered and learned from all those experiences. I think that this memoir was chosen for us the freshman class to read because it showed us that no matter what happens in life that we should learn to overcome our struggles and make the successes in our lives the best ones and cherish them. Coming into college as a first year student it gave us an idea of how she was in the same situation in parts of her life, but she overcome those times by just believing in herself and putting time into what she wanted to do in the future. 

What I got out of this memoir was her hardships and how she overcame everything that had happened to her and her family. She was not from a wealthy family, but always had family close and cherished them like no other. I believe that we as a freshman class get out of this memoir is to never give up and if you really want something then put all your effort into because if you don't love it then you do not have enough motivation to achieve what you want. Starting off fresh and new in a new environment and new to everything is hard to get accustom too. With that said, I think that this book helps us understand somewhat of what we have started and where and what we are planning on doing with our futures.

Never give up and always put your best effort forward. The light at the end of the tunnel is achievable, but only if you want it bad.
