C. Sotomayor faced many challenges and struggles as a child.

Explanation:

"Sonia Sotomayor" is the author of "My Beloved World." Chapter 1 describes her childhood life and the struggles she faced. At a young age of 8, she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that was life-threatening. She even stayed at the hospital for a week. When she got home, her parents were afraid or hesitant administer insulin shots on her. This caused arguments between her parents. Her father was also alcoholic and this affected their family's condition. Suddenly, her father died of heart attack. Such events show that Sonia faced many challenges and struggles as a child.

So, this explains the answer.
