  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Shumet Demie who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Shumet Demie is a senior at Pomona High 
School and received this award because her determination and hard work 
have allowed her to overcome adversities.

  The dedication demonstrated by Shumet Demie 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 Shumet Demie for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication she has shown in her 
high school career to her college career and future accomplishments.
