  CONGRATULATING TeKYLAH SIMPSON ON HER ACCEPTANCE TO CULINARY SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate TeKylah Simpson 
for being accepted into the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts 
in Austin.
  TeKylah, a senior at Stafford High School, enrolled in Chef Courtney 
Ralls' Culinary Program as a sophomore. Through the program, Simpson 
became the first in her family to travel outside of the United States 
when she went to Italy; next summer she will go to Spain. Her skills 
have developed and earned her a spot at the Culinary school. She is 
incredibly driven and one day hopes to open her own bakery.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to TeKylah Simpson for being accepted into the 
Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Austin. We know that she 
will reflect the hard work and values of her community through her 
academics, and wish her the best of luck.
