JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR HOUSE
Our College Affiliate: Iona College
House Mantra: “FAILURE IS A GREAT TEACHER”
“I DO KNOW ONE THING ABOUT ME: I DON’T MEASURE MYSELF BY OTHERS’ EXPECTATIONS OR LET OTHERS DEFINE MY WORTH… THERE ARE NO BYSTANDERS IN LIFE {…} OUR HUMANITY MAKES US EACH A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES… SUCCESS IS ITS OWN REWARD BUT FAILURE IS A GREAT TEACHER TOO AND NOT TO BE FEARED.”
