 Hispanics, have we really paid attention to what good in the world they have done? I believe that Hispanics have made an impact on the world. I'm going to talk about three people that have made an impact on the world. Those three people are Sonia Sotomayer, Selena Quintanilla, and Serena Aunon. I'm talking about these three women because they have inspired me to never give up and that hopefully I will make in impact on the world in the future.

 The first person that I am going to talk about is Sonia Sotomayer. [Shores, Erika L] Sonia was born on June 15, 1954 in Bronx New York. Sonia graduated from Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx in 1972 and entered the Ivy League, attending Princeton University. All of Sotomayor's paid off when she graduated summa cumlaude from Princeton in 1976. She was the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice to hold this important job. Sotomayor was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of New York by President George H. W. Bush in 1991; in 1992 confirmation followed. In 1992 she was chosen to be a judge and she was tough but fair. President Bill Clinton nominated Sotomayor to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 1997. In 1998, she was eventually confirmed, but er nomination was slowed down by the Republican majority in the United States Senate. Sotomayor heard appeals in more than three thousand cases and wrote about three hundred and eighty opinions on the Second Circuit. In 2009 President Barack Obama named Sonia to the Supreme Court and she became the third women to serve on the court. She believes that hardworking and courage can make dreams come true.

 The second person that I am going to talk about is Selena Quintanilla. [Selena] Selena was born in Lake Jackson, Texas and born into a musical family. Selena was an American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, model, actress, and fashion designer. When she was eight she began performing with relatives at a family restaurant called Pappgallo. She began taking classes through the American School, a correspondence school for artists. Her contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late twentieth century. [Selena Quintanilla Perez] Selena Quintanilla changed the music industry in many different ways. Many people feel like Selena changed the music industry because she was not just very talented but she also had a very beautiful personality, a personality which would be loved by many celebrities, and a personality that would be missed after her untimely death. In the 1980s, she was often criticized and was refused bookings at venues across Texas for performing Tejano Music-a male-dominated genre. In 1987 Selena won the Tejano Award for Female Entertainer of the year and was haled as " The Queen of Tejano Music". She also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all-time and is credited for the catapulting a music genre into the mainstream market. On March 31, 1995 Selena was unfortunately shot and killed by the founder of the Selena Fan Club.

 Serena Aunon, she is the first Cuban American astronaut. [Cruz, Alberto De La] Serena began working with NASA as Flight Surgeon in 2006. In 2009, she was selected as a NASA astronaut. Serena will visit the International Space Station in November of next year. NASA will make her visit the cosmos when she takes off for the International Space Station from the Baikonur, Kazakhstan in November of 2018. Serena spent more than nine months in Russia supporting medical operations for the International Space Station crew members in Star City, including water survival training in the Ukraine. She even held the role of Deputy Lead for Orion-Medical Operations. Serena graduated in November 2011 from Astronaut Candidate Training, which included scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in space station systems, spacewalks, robotics, physiological training, T-38 flight training, and water and wilderness survival training. She wanted to become an astronaut when she saw a launch of the Space Shuttle. Ever since she was little she wanted to become an astronaut but she didn't know what path to take to achieve it.

 I believe that these three women have made an impact because they show you that women can do everything that men can do. These women will make an impact in future because they all donated to charities and care a lot about their peers. Women can become Supreme Court Justices, musicians, and astronauts. These women have inspired me to never give up because you will reached your goal. Without these women some of us wouldn't be brave enough to become Supreme Court Justices, famous musicians, and astronauts. These women have inspired me to never give up and to achieve my goals.
