  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
goal oriented student at Quitman County Middle School.
  J'Myiah Smith is the daughter of Ms. Teresa Smith of Sledge, MS. She 
is a very intelligent individual, and she is an outstanding student 
because she continues to strive to maintain a spot on the 
Superintendent's List. Among her outstanding grades, J'Myiah was also 
elected as Miss Seventh Grade 2014-2015 by her peers. She is an active 
member of the Quitman County Middle School Student Council, Newspaper 
Committee, and QCMS S.T.E.F. Ambassador Society.
  J'Myiah is active in her community as well. On this past year, she 
participated in the ``I Support the Bond'' meetings and marches. She 
has collected clothes and donated them to the needy. She is also a 
member of her church's youth choir. J'Myiah plans to attend Jackson 
State University and later attend medical school.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing J'Myiah 
Smith as a student who is goal oriented and making a difference in her 
community.
