  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Halima Bangura for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award.
   Halima Bangura is a student at Standley Lake High School and 
received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
   The dedication demonstrated by Halima Bangura 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 Halima Bangura for winning 
the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of her 
future accomplishments.
