  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Brooke Ballantyne for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Brooke Ballantyne is an 11th grader at Two 
Roads High School and received this award because her determination and 
hard work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Brooke Ballantyne 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 to Brooke Ballantyne for winning 
the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
