                       Monday, December 10, 2007

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute and honor to 
Krystianni Hills. Krystianni is the daughter of Harold and Patricia 
Hills. She was born in March of 1990 at the Long Island College 
Hospital.
  At age five, Krystianni was enrolled in St. Mark's Day School where 
she excelled in all of her classes. She graduated in 2004 and was one 
of two students in her graduating class to pass the specialized high 
school exam.
  Krystianni is currently a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School 
where she majors in architecture. She is a member of the track team and 
the cheerleading squad. Krystianni was a flutist for the Brooklyn 
Technical High School Jazz Band during her sophomore and junior years. 
She now has an internship with Salle de Danse, a dance shop located in 
Flatbush and plans to attend college next year pursuing a major in 
forensic science.
  Krystianni first received her religious training at Newman Memorial 
United Methodist Church Sunday School. She is currently a member of 
Berean Baptist Church where she serves with the Ministry of Sacred 
Dance under the direction of Paulette Newberns. Krystianni is the 
former vice-president of the Junior Usher Board under the guidance of 
Deacon Vernart Jenkins.
  Krystianni's hobbies and interests include reading, jumping double-
dutch, and science. One of her favorite television programs is C.S.I.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize one of our young people who 
is really doing some great things and who is working hard to make a 
difference.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Krystianni Hills.
