  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Larissa Torralba for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award.
   Larissa Torralba is a student at Jefferson High School and received 
this award because her determination and hard work have allowed her to 
overcome adversities.
   The dedication demonstrated by Larissa Torralba 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.

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.
