  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
goal oriented student, Faatin Khaleelah Muhammad.
  Faatin Khaleelah Muhammad is the 17 year old daughter of James and 
Latonya Muhammad and is a member of Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church 
located in Natchez, Mississippi.
  Faatin has managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA for 4 years, at Jefferson 
County High School and throughout her life, excelled in school and 
sports: she has been a member of the Jefferson County High School Track 
team since 2012; she has received multiple plaques, ribbons, and metals 
for her performances; and she has served 2 years as a high school 
cheerleader. Faatin is currently president of FCCLA where she completed 
many community services and projects. She is also a member of FBLA, 
TSA, TATU and the Senior Transition Program. She has been in the 
Jefferson County High School Marching Band since the 9th grade.
  Upon graduation, Faatin will attend Alcorn State University located 
in Lorman, Mississippi. She will major in Animal Science with hopes to 
become an Animal doctor in Mississippi.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Faatin 
Khaleelah Muhammad, as a student who is goal oriented and making a 
difference in her community.
