                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2011

  Mr. ROKITA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Sarah Zabel, one of my constituents and I am proud to say one of this 
year's 141 U.S. Presidential Scholars.
  Sarah is one of the top students in her graduating class at 
Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Indiana, while balancing work and 
numerous extracurricular activities. She is a member of the Girl's 
Varsity Tennis Team and writes for the Y-Press, the youth news bureau 
of the Indianapolis Star. Sarah also sings in Starlight Voices, a 
competitive women's choir. She has held several leadership positions 
within her community, including Vice President of the National Honor 
Society, copy editor of Brownsburg High School's student newspaper, and 
was a participant in the National Young Leaders Conference. It is 
clear, Sarah succeeds not only in the classroom, but as an active 
member of her community. In Sarah's free time, she tutors second grade 
students, serves food for Beggars for the Poor, and collects non-
perishable goods for local food pantries.
  I am proud to honor Sarah Zabel in recognition of all her 
achievements, admirable leadership, and superior contributions to her 
local community. As she heads to Xavier University in the fall, I wish 
her the best of luck for a bright and successful future.
