IRB Intro Post #1

For my first independent research book, I will be reading My Beloved World, a memoir by Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor. I chose this book because it details a truly inspiring story about one woman's determination to rise above her impoverished roots and change the world. This is a true story of inspiration, therefore I believe I an personally benefit from reading this book, as this woman's story of perseverance will perhaps inspire me to work hard for my goals.
