  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Gabby Rivera who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Gabby Rivera is an 8th grader at Arvada 
Middle School and received this award because her determination and 
hard work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Gabby Rivera 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 Gabby Rivera 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 
academic career to her future accomplishments.
