                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Nicolle Walters 
for being one of a few students in America chosen to participate in 
NASA's Aerospace Scholars Program. Nicolle is currently a junior at 
Lamar Consolidated High School in Rosenberg, Texas--go Mustangs!
  Nicolle will participate in an online learning experience with actual 
NASA engineers this spring and spend a week this summer working with 
aerospace engineers at the Johnson Space Center. Nicolle will have an 
amazing opportunity to be mentored by NASA engineers and scientists, 
which will hopefully aide her interest in space exploration. Nicolle is 
a member of the Project Lead the Way program at Lamar Consolidated. 
Project Lead the Way provides engaging, hands-on STEM courses and 
prepares students to be leaders in the fields of science, technology, 
engineering and math.
  I wish Nicolle the best of luck with this amazing experience and with 
her future endeavors. On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second 
Congressional District of Texas, I again congratulate Nicolle Walters 
for being chosen to participate in NASA's Aerospace Scholars Program.
