HONORING JENNY STARR THUERAUF ON BEING ACCEPTED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY

                   CONGRESS OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor McAuley Catholic High 
School student Starr Thuerauf, of Joplin, Missouri, on her being 
accepted as a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders by the 
National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists.
  The Congress of Future Medical Leaders is an honors-only program that 
is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the United 
States. Specifically, it's designed for students aspiring to become 
physicians or medical researchers, and provides a path and mentorship 
for students to accomplish their goals.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants are either 
recommended by a teacher or member of the Academy based on a proven 
track record of academic excellence. Delegates represent all 50 states 
plus Puerto Rico, and must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Students like 
Thuerauf who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-
tier diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Starr Thuerauf will undoubtedly represent Missouri with 
distinction during her time as a delegate to this Congress. She has not 
only shown a strong academic capability during her time at school, but 
is also a well-rounded individual with a deep interest in the medical 
field. I would like to extend my personal congratulations for her 
achievement, and on behalf of the 7th District of Missouri, wish Starr 
the best of luck in all her future endeavors.

                          ____________________
