  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
achievements of Ms. Sophie Septoff, recent graduate of the Nova 
Southeastern University School and recipient of the Miami Herald's 
Silver Knight Award for the category of Music and Dance.
  Sophie, who is legally blind, founded the ``Dance in the Light'' 
program at the Lighthouse of Broward through which she teaches blind 
and visually impaired children the art of dance. Her love for the arts 
and passion to help others succeed has helped countless children in our 
community.
  Sophie is a talented, smart and poised young woman with a kind heart. 
I applaud Sophie on her achievement and I am grateful for her 
compassion to those around her. She represents the best in our 
community and has set forth a stellar example for other young adults on 
how to be a caring citizen.
  I am confident Ms. Septoff will be incredibly successful in her 
future endeavors at Georgetown University and wish her all the best.
