  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to honor a 
tremendous student Mr. Samuel D. Foster, Jr., who is a Wingfield High 
School Senior graduating in the top five of his senior class.
  Mr. Foster, throughout his high school career, was always a shy and 
timid young man who valued the opportunities given to him by his 
school. No matter the challenge, Mr. Foster strived to maintain good 
grades and also value knowledge.
  Mr. Foster was inducted into both the National Honor Society and the 
Entergy Scholars, which displays a group of students who have expressed 
on enhanced interest in being the best that they can be. Being a part 
of the National Honor Society, he has been very helpful volunteering 
for his school's annual college fairs. Mr. Foster is also an active 
volunteer at his church, the New Galilean M.B. Church, where he helps 
out mostly during the holidays.
  Mr. Foster is the son of Samuel and Anita Foster and has shown great 
accomplishments throughout his whole life, but now being a high school 
senior; he has advanced up the ladder of excellence and is now given 
the title of Valedictorian, holding over a 3.5 grade point average at 
Wingfield High School.
  Along with being Valedictorian, Mr. Foster has even had the honor of 
being voted Mr. Wingfield of his high school for the 2013-2014 school 
years.
  In addition to being Mr. Wingfield, he has also won first place in 
the district reading fair, being able to make it to the regional 
reading fair to represent the high school Division-F for Jackson Public 
Schools.
  Mr. Foster plans to attend Jackson State University on a full 
scholarship, where he plans to double major in Manufacturing and Design 
Technology and Art.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Samuel 
D. Foster, Jr.
