  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable young woman, Ms. Ariel Kominique Taylor. Ariel was born in 
Indianola, Mississippi, to LaShunda King and Kamia Taylor. She is a 
dedicated member of Weeping Mary Baptist Church and proud member of the 
Humphreys County High School Class of 2012.
  Ariel's commitment to academic excellence earned her the title of 
Salutatorian for Humphreys County High School Class of 2012. At 
Humphreys County High School, Ariel was a charter member of Students 
Making a Change, SMAC, a participant in The Mayor's City Youth Council, 
and was a member of the Youth with a Vision Community Choir. She also 
served as a sports journalist for the school's newspaper, a member of 
the Varsity Cheerleader Squad, and the school's tennis team.
  After graduating, Ariel plans to attend Jackson State University and 
major in mathematics with an emphasis in accounting.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask our colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Ariel 
Kominique Taylor for her continued effort in achieving excellence in 
education and leadership.
