                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Neosho High School 
student Ashley Hobson for 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 engage 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 Ashley 
who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-tier 
diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Ashley Hobson has not only demonstrated that she is 
qualified to represent Missouri through her strong academic 
performance, but has also displayed a true passion for medical science 
and medicine that will serve her well in future endeavors. I wish 
Ashley the best of luck in all her future endeavors. On behalf of 
Missouri's Seventh Congressional District, I urge my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating her for this achievement.
