                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 3, 2020

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Angela Feng of 
Dawson High School in Pearland, TX and Princeton University for earning 
a State Department Critical Language Scholarship.
  Angela is one of only 550 students to receive a scholarship, beating 
out thousands of applicants around the nation. She traveled to Baku, 
Azerbaijan where she spent the summer studying Turkish while immersed 
in their culture.
  The Critical Language Scholarship is a merit-based award that gives 
American students the opportunity to study one of the fifteen critical 
languages to our nation's world engagement abroad. It aims to help 
students increase their fluency in the language they are studying and 
learn more about the culture surrounding it.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
congratulate Angela, on her incredible achievement. Her drive and 
dedication to her studies earned her this honor. Angela has made 
Pearland and TX-22 very proud.
