  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Jessica Elizabeth Wilkes-
Mobley.
  Jessica is one of Brooklyn's brightest young stars. She is an honor 
student, having ranked second in her sophomore class at Catherine 
McAuley High School. Currently, Jessica is continuing her strong 
academic showing by remaining on the Principal's list in her junior 
year.
  Her lifelong goal of being a pediatrician was furthered by her 
participation in the June 2002 National Leadership Forum on Medicine in 
Chicago. Jessica was also nominated as a National Math Award winner and 
had her biography published in the 2001 United States Achievement 
Academy National Awards Yearbook. Jessica was also nominated as a 
United States National Honor Roll Member and Who's Who Among American 
High School Students. She is a member of the National Honor Society and 
the recipient of the St. Johns University Women in Science Society for 
Mathematics.
  Jessica is a member of Our Lady of Charity R.C. Church where she 
works with the church elders. She is also a member of Youth 
Discipleship and the Liturgical Dance Group. In addition to her 
academic studies and church work, Jessica also enjoys reading and 
cheerleading in her spare time.
  Mr. Speaker, Jessica Elizabeth Wilkes-Mobley is truly a young lady 
who is going places and who is already an academic success story. As 
such, she is more than worthy of receiving our recognition today.
