  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Genevieve Martinez who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Genevieve Martinez is a student at Wheat 
Ridge Middle School and received this award because her determination 
and hard work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Genevieve Martinez 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 Genevieve Martinez 
for winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. 
I have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character to 
all her future accomplishments.
