Read the paragraph from a biography about Sonia Sotomayor.
After graduating from law school, most of Sonia’s classmates took high-paying jobs with prestigious law firms. But Sonia wanted real world experience and went to work as an assistant district attorney. In this position, Sonia knew she would gain valuable experience trying cases in the courtroom. Sonia’s first few cases were tough. She was a bundle of nerves and felt awkward and unsure of herself presenting before a judge. Never one to give up easily, Sonia did everything she could to gain confidence and improve her skills. Within six months, she was a rising star in the district attorney’s office. Far ahead of her peers, she was promoted from handling simple cases dealing with disorderly conduct to more serious felonies. Sonia placed facts and fairness above emotion and politics. She gained a reputation as a straight shooter who was not afraid to speak her mind in and out of the courtroom.
