                        RECOGNIZING LAILA GORING

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TULSI GABBARD

                               of hawaii

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 18, 2013

  Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight a very special 
member of my team, Laila Goring. Laila is a University of Hawai`i 
student and former soldier who has been serving in my office as an 
intern this spring. Friday was her final day on Capitol Hill.
  In her work, she has truly displayed the aloha spirit and a heart for 
servant leadership. She has set the bar high for our internship 
program, and I hope many more students like Laila will serve and learn 
in my office.
  A congressional internship should not be about grabbing coffee or 
making copies, but about learning and growing in an environment that 
encourages service. Our students have so much to offer, and we have the 
opportunity to cultivate the next generation of leaders by 
demonstrating firsthand the value of public service.
  Mahalo nui loa, thank you very much, Laila, and we wish you the best 
of luck as you continue to pursue your goals.
