                         Friday, June 23, 2017

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
goal oriented student at Madison Shannon Palmer High School in Marks, 
Mississippi.
  Isha Williams is the daughter of Jamesetta Strong. She is a senior at 
Madison Shannon Palmer High School. She participates in many activities 
such as basketball, volleyball, and cheerleading. In addition to her 
academic and athletic activities, she is a member of the Beta Club. She 
has received many awards for her outstanding academic performances such 
as an ACT Scholar (20 or above award for ACT), a Superintendent's List 
award, and an Outstanding Achievement award. Her goals and future plans 
consist of graduating from Basic Combat Training, AIT, and attending 
the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss University) to receive her 
master's degree.
  Not only does she overachieve in school, but Isha also helps out in 
her community. She has tutored students in her Calculus class and other 
classmates as well. Isha has tutored elementary students after school 
on Mondays through Thursdays. She also has helped her friend train and 
exercise so that she can join the Air Force. She attended a workshop at 
Mississippi Valley State University, and she helped the instructor by 
reviewing math problems and explaining each of them to other students. 
Isha is an overachiever who has made a difference in helping others.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Isha 
Williams as a student who is goal oriented and making a difference in 
her community.
