  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Kendra Irvine-Johnson for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Kendra Irvine-Johnson is a 12th grader at 
Pomona High and received this award because her determination and hard 
work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Kendra Irvine-Johnson 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 Kendra Irvine-Johnson 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.
