            HONORING JACLYN SCHULTZ, MISS MICHIGAN USA 2013

                                 ______

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 26, 2013

  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jaclyn Schultz of 
Wyandotte, Michigan, who was crowned Miss Michigan USA in September 
2012 and represented the great state of Michigan at the Miss USA 
pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 16, 2013.
  Miss Schultz is a graduate of Wyandotte Roosevelt High School and 
Central Michigan University. Not only is Jaclyn recognized as a 
successful competitor in the pageant community, but she has also 
established a successful career in public relations. She is currently 
exhibiting her great determination in her quest to obtain her Master's 
degree while continuing to compete in pageants, be an advocate for 
women's health issues, and work full time. Her hard work, 
determination, and drive for success have allowed her to be a role 
model for young girls and bring a voice to women's health issues that 
are not well known to many people.
  Jaclyn has done a tremendous job in her work with the Beautiful You 
MKRH Foundation to raise awareness of an infertility syndrome which 
affects 1 in 4,000 women who are born without a uterus. This is a 
personal issue for Jaclyn as she was diagnosed with this syndrome at 
the age of 15. It is with great courage that Jaclyn has stepped forward 
to tell her story and be a voice for the scores of women around the 
world who are diagnosed with MKRH.
  Jaclyn has proven herself as a role model to young girls and women 
across our country and I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Jaclyn Schultz for all of her efforts and wish her great success on all 
of her future endeavors.
