              RECOGNIZING KYLE WEINTRAUB AS A STAR STUDENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 2013

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
courage and determination of Kyle Weintraub. Kyle, a Davie resident, is 
currently being treated at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for 
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL). Faced with the possibility of 
spending up to a year in the hospital receiving treatment, he decided 
that he would not let this obstacle prevent him from attending school.
  By continuing to learn and attend school Kyle has demonstrated 
admirable resolve in fighting this life-threatening disease. He is a 
shining example. for all students of what dedication and commitment to 
education looks like.
  I would also like to commend his determination in the face of 
continuous treatments and the support of his family and friends in 
facilitating that effort. This is especially true in the case of Marni 
Rosenblatt, who was able to raise $4,000 to help Kyle's parents with 
the costs for the special technology necessary, to allow him to 
continue his education.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in sending best wishes and prayers to 
this tenacious young man, Kyle Weintraub. He exemplifies the strength 
and courage we all hope to find within ourselves when faced with such a 
hardship.
