Who is Justice Sandra Day O' Connor?

Justice Sandra Day O' Connor was born March 26, 1930, she is a significant person because she was the first female member of the supreme court, she was also awarded the Presidential Medal of freedom, by President Barack Obama. She was also the chancellor of the college of William and Mary. She served in the Supreme Court for twenty-five years as a Supreme Court Justice. Sandra day O' Connor came to the classroom and spoke to us about how it was on the supreme court. We were taped on film while playing games on iCivics. Justice Sandra Day O' Connor let us ask her questions about the Supreme Court and how it was like in the supreme court.

We learned about the Supreme Court and that she was the first woman to ever be on the Supreme Court. We also know that she grew up on a farm. We felt inspired by the fact that a very successful woman was talking to us about working in the Supreme Court. The fact that she had many bodyguards around her made us understand how important she was. Lastly, she looked joyful to be in the presence of many children.

We learned that our goals may change for the better and that nothing can stop us from achieving them.

She led a successful campaign for women's suffrage that as a result led to the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. She received her undergraduate from Swathmore College, and earned her M.A and PhD from the university of Pennsylvania. In 1929, she became the primary resident for 40 years of a house bought by Alva Belmont, located on Capital Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Alice Paul died at the age of 92 on July 9,1977 at the Quaker Greenleaf Extension Home in Moorestown Township, New Jersey, near her family home of Paulsdale. She is an appropriate name for our class simply because she was a great person. It is an honor to have a woman to have fought for women as a class name.
