I Have Been A Judge For 15

My Mother Worked For More Than A Decade Before Marrying. She Went To New York City To Get A Master's Degree. And She Continued To Work As A Teacher And A Principal Until She Was Forced To Retire.both She And My Father Instilled In My Sister And Me A Deep Love Of Learning.

I Think That What My Parents Taught Me About Hard Work, Optimism And Education Still Holds True.

All Of My Grandparents Came To The United States From Italy During The Early Years Of The 20th Century. I Believe That My Grandparents Came Here To Take Advantage Of The Opportunities Furnished By A Growing Country With An Open Society.

The Most Important Quality For A Judge Is Open- Mindedness To The Arguments.

My Grandparents Came Worked Hard, And I Believe They Never Regretted Their Decision To Come Here And Make A New Start.
