                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 19, 2014

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable student, Ms. Shalaria Jackson.
  Ms. Jackson is a senior at Humphreys County High School. Throughout 
her years in school, she has been a part of many leadership 
organizations, such as: TATU, SADD, Sister of Sophistication, and 
Senior Select.
  Upon graduation, she plans to attend Mississippi State University to 
major in Biochemistry to one day become a Medical Examiner.
  Being a part of senior select gave her the opportunity to experience 
the work force; never did she think that she would have such a great 
effect on her coworker's lives. She has learned the basics of becoming 
and working as a Chancery Clerk assistant at the Humphreys County Court 
House.
  She also learned the patience it takes to work well with others in a 
work setting environment. What she learned at work, she applied it to 
school and vice versa. She helped with the paperwork, greeted the 
patients and staff with such great hospitality, operated the telephones 
and also helped other coworkers when her tasks were completed.
  It was not an easy job for her to juggle school and work, but she 
kept the faith and pushed forward.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Shalaria Jackson for her dedication to serving others and giving back 
to the community.
