                        Thursday, June 16, 2011

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Madeleine Misemer of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Madeleine is active in the 
community and in her school and has been chosen to receive the YWCA 
Women of Excellence Future Leader Award.
   Leadership is a hallmark of Madeleine's high school career. While 
earning high academic honors each semester, she remained involved in 
Student Council and was a delegate to the Missouri Association of 
Student Council Summer Leadership Workshop. Madeleine has been enrolled 
for three years in the Leadership Class and has also been a DECA 
leadership conference delegate. She is often seen at athletic events 
supporting her peers, and is a member of the varsity tennis team. Her 
lengthy list of service activities includes chairman of the blood drive 
and steering committee member for the Senior Citizen's Prom. She is 
also a natural tutor and mentor, leading activities for struggling 
students.
   Madeleine's nominator states, ``Her high morals and ethics are not 
to be questioned . . . others trust her judgment, and she sees the 
bright side to all situations.''
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Madeleine 
Misemer. She is an amazing individual and a tremendous asset to our 
community. I am honored to represent her in the United States Congress.
