                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Laurel Springs High 
School student Jenny Shunyakova, of Springfield, 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 
Shunyakova who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify 
top-tier diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Jenny Shunyakova has not only excelled in her academic 
studies, but also shown a persistent interest in biology and other 
fields related to medical professions that will serve her future 
aspirations well. I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating her 
for this achievement. On behalf of Missouri's Seventh Congressional 
District, I wish Jenny the best of luck in all her future endeavors.

                          ____________________
