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