                         Tuesday, July 3, 2018

  Mr. GONZALEZ of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. David 
Gomez, a school bus driver with the McAllen Independent School 
District.
  Every morning, Mr. Gomez starts his day at 4:30 a.m. to pick up his 
200 plus students for their daily bus ride to school. Mr. Gomez 
dedicates his time to getting to know the many students that ride his 
bus, motivating them to do their best work and always maintaining a 
positive outlook.
  His words of encouragement and motivation inspire students to strive 
for excellence in their daily lives. The interest Mr. Gomez takes in 
the lives of these students has empowered them in an uplifting way. Mr. 
Gomez's heartfelt sentiment should not go unrecognized. Recently, 
students who graduated this summer honored him by thanking him for his 
work and service, and I wish to honor him here as well.
  Mr. Speaker, today I share my deepest admiration for Mr. Gomez. His 
hard work for the McAllen Independent School District over the past 
four years has inspired so many in our community. He has made South 
Texas a better place, and I am honored to represent individuals like 
him in the U.S. House of Representatives.
