                        TRIBUTE TO TRIKIA WHITE

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I honor Trikia White, the Leon 
County Teacher of the Year from Augusta Raa Middle School in 
Tallahassee, FL.
  Trikia believes receiving this important recognition makes the long 
hours she spends grading assignments, preparing lesson plans, and 
helping students worth it. She enjoys seeing what her students can 
achieve after leaving her class.
  Trikia makes sure each minute of class time is worthwhile to her 
students. She believes this is the only way for her to learn what they 
are capable of doing in her classroom, and it allows her to provide 
informal feedback to them.
  Trikia's principal noted that she is always willing to support her 
students and fellow teachers each day, whether it is offering 
assistance in her content area or other needs. She works hard to make 
sure the school exceeds expectations throughout the school year.
  Trikia teaches eighth grade language arts at Augusta Raa Middle 
School and has taught there for 6 of her 11 years as a teacher.
  I extend my best wishes to Trikia and look forward to hearing of her 
continued good work in the years ahead.
