Justice Sandra Day O' Connor is a retired member of the Supreme Court. She was the first women EVER to become a member of the Supreme Court. She was born in a remote area in Arizona, but went to school in El Paso, Texas. While in Texas, Justice O' Connor lived with her grandparents. While she spent her youth on "the back of horses", she spent most of her time studying and attending school. She said herself " I was just a cowgirl". As a judge she decided to take up speed reading. She also stated " I had to read thousands of pages everyday!". We could never imagine reading that much in one day.
Our experience was stupendous!!! She answered most of our questions and gave us some great laughs. It was a privilege for her to be in our presence. It was an unimaginable feeling when she stepped through the door. More like a good aura and an incredible feeling for everyone in the room. She is a very nice lady and lovely to have visit. We learned a great lesson form Justice O' Connor today, and that was to keep your head high and never back down from your responsibilities.
