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