  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lea Gold, a 
2011 Critical Language Scholarship Program Recipient. Lea has been 
identified by her educators for her academic excellence, leadership 
potential and exemplary citizenship to participate in the Critical 
Language Scholarship Program Jeonju, South Korea.
  This Critical Language Scholarship Program allows students to 
participate in daily educational activities in Jeonju, South Korea, as 
well as the surrounding areas. The program allows participants to make 
friends with young leaders from all over the world with an intensive 
focus in the Korean language, one of the thirteen critical need foreign 
languages determined by the Department of State, for summer 2012. At 
the end of the program, participants receive a certificate of 
completion.
  Lea is a student at the University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill. It 
is inspiring to see young people who are interested in educational and 
developmental experiences such as these.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this 
remarkable achievement by Lea Gold and wishing her continued success in 
her further pursuits.
