  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Arthur Conklin who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Arthur Conklin is a student at Wheat Ridge 
Middle School and received this award because his determination and 
hard work have allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Arthur Conklin is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential that students at all levels strive to 
make the most of their education and develop a work ethic that will 
guide them for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Arthur Conklin for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication and character to all 
his future accomplishments.
