  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Carlos Gonzales who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Carlos Gonzales is an 8th grader at Drake 
Middle School and received this award because his determination and 
hard work have allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Carlos Gonzales 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 Carlos Gonzales for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication he has shown in his 
academic career to his future accomplishments.
