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