  Mr. MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an outstanding student 
from my congressional district, Curtis Whitehead. Curtis is a senior at 
August Martin High School in Queens, NY and has won the April student 
of the month award. During his time at August Martin, Curtis has 
overcome challenges, excelled in his studies and discovered his true 
passions: cooking and acting. Since his sophomore year, he has had a 
recurring lead role on a Time Warner Cable production called ``Power 
Tools for Life.'' He has since, participated and excelled in countless 
culinary competitions. By all accounts Curtis is well liked and 
respected by his classmates and teachers, baking cookies and cupcakes 
for their birthdays and offering to help in times of need. Upon 
graduation Curtis will enroll in the Culinary Academy. I applaud Curtis 
Whitehead for winning student of the month and wish him the best in his 
future endeavors.
