                        TRIBUTE TO KENNETH NORTH

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Kenneth North, the 
Union County Teacher of the Year from Union County High School in Lake 
Butler, FL.
  Kenneth is more than a teacher; he is a mentor for today's youth to 
be tomorrow's successful and productive citizens. He does this by 
providing opportunities for them through competitions, community 
service, social functions, and daily activities.
  In many instances, he sets up practical exercises for his students to 
work through by coming up with solutions to problems that work best for 
them. According to Kenneth, this teaches students the principle of 
taking ownership of problems and giving the solutions that can be 
applied throughout life.
  Kenneth is a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps instructor with 
more than 23 years of life experiences around the world. He has been a 
JROTC instructor with Union County since 2012.
  I extend my appreciation to Kenneth for his hard work and 
congratulate him on this achievement. I wish him continued success in 
the years to come.
