  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Kevin Calkins who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth Award. Kevin Calkins is a senior at Arvada High 
School and received this award because his determination and hard work 
have allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Kevin Calkins 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 Kevin Calkins for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth Award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication he has shown in his 
high school career to his college career and future accomplishments.
