                        TRIBUTE TO SABRINA URAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 13, 2002

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to 
congratulate Sabrina Uran of La Junta, Colorado. A student at Manzanola 
High School, Sabrina recently published a poem titled ``God Said . . 
.'' in the ``Scroll Original Arts Magazine.'' This piece was the first 
published for the young author.
  Sabrina has always held an interest in the language arts and is very 
excited one of her pieces has achieved professional recognition. The 
poem is written in the first person, as a dialogue between the narrator 
and God. As the Rocky Ford Daily Gazette wrote, ``Uran's work is read 
with a definitive rhythm, which culminates into an impacting finish.''
  It is an honor for the state of Colorado to have such a young talent 
recognized for her abilities. It is vital that America encourages all 
young people to strive for their goals, and Sabrina is a shining 
example of a young person achieving her aspirations. On behalf of the 
citizens of Colorado, I ask the House to join me in extending 
congratulations to Ms. Sabrina Uran.
