     CONGRATULATING ROHAN SINGH AS STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JAY INSLEE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 7, 2003

  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a special young man 
from my district, Mr. Rohan Singh.
  It is my pleasure to announce that Rohan has been named Junior 
Achievement's 2003 Student Entrepreneur of the Year.
  Last year, Rohan used just $60 to establish FuzzelFish.com, which 
sells software products over the internet. Today, Rohan has a thriving 
small business and I just want to take this opportunity to congratulate 
him and wish him luck with his business and his studies.
  I recently had the chance to meet Rohan in my Washington, DC office. 
Let me tell you, he is an intelligent and upstanding young man who, I'm 
sure, will have a very bright and productive future.
  I also rise today to say that I am encouraged to see that the 
entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well among teens in the United 
States. According to a recent poll by Junior Achievement and Harris 
Interactive, more teens believe that ``owning your own business'' 
provides greater job security than ``working for a company.'' This, Mr. 
Speaker, is good news for the future of this great nation.
  In closing, I want to say again how proud I am of Rohan Singh and 
believe that his story should be an example to all young people that 
everyone can and should play a part in the American Dream.
