  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Alexander Escalante for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award.
  Alexander Escalante is a student at Pomona High School and received 
this award because his determination and hard work have allowed him to 
overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Alexander Escalante is exemplary of 
the type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential students at all levels strive to make the 
most of their education and develop a work ethic which will guide them 
for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Alexander Escalante for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication and character in all 
of his future accomplishments.
