  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Vanessa Vasquez who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Vanessa Vasquez is a 12th grader at Pamona 
High School and received this award because her determination and hard 
work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Vanessa Vasquez is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential students at all levels strive to make the 
most of their education and develop a work ethic which will guide them 
for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Vanessa Vasquez for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character to all 
her future accomplishments.
