                        TRIBUTE TO SHERYL AVERY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I honor Sheryl Avery, the 
Liberty County Teacher of the Year from Liberty County High School in 
Bristol, FL.
  Sheryl believes that being a teacher means understanding her students 
will eventually become leaders of our society. Her lifelong goal is to 
seek opportunities to change the world, which she believes can be done 
from the classroom.
  Sheryl believes that writing is an important skill. It is a skill 
that all students need to know, not just for school, but for when they 
join the workforce. She is a published author with three works in print 
and enjoys writing in her spare time.
  Sheryl teaches English for ninth and tenth graders at Liberty County 
High School. She has worked as an educator for 21 years, with 19 years 
in the Liberty County School System. She earned her bachelor's degree 
in English and ESOL from Armstrong Atlantic State University, her 
master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Georgia Southern 
University, and is currently studying for her doctorate degree in 
theology from South University.
  I extend my best wishes to Sheryl on her more than two decades of 
teaching students. I look forward to hearing of her continued good work 
in the years to come.
