                          Friday, May 1, 2020

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Aryan Arora for 
his win in Impromptu Speaking at the IHSA Individual Events State 
Tournament. Aryan is the seventh state speech champion from Rockford 
Public Schools and the first since 1963.
  Aryan is a senior at Auburn High School in Rockford, Illinois. 
Students at the state tournament had just eight minutes to prepare 
content on a given topic and then deliver a meaningful, organized and 
impactful speech. Aryan is a member of the Rockford Public Schools 
Superintendent's Student Advisory Council, Auburn High School's Debate 
Club, and the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois' In Youth We 
Trust Council. He was also named a commended student by the 2020 
National Merit Scholarship Program. I commend Aryan for his hard work 
and dedication to public speaking and to both his school and community.
  It is because of student leaders such as Aryan that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally congratulate Aryan Arora on his win in 
Impromptu Speaking at the IHSA Individual Events State Tournament.
