entrepreneur, Coral. I recently had the pleasure of touring Coral's 
Corner, where I witnessed the hard work that Coral puts into growing 
and selling her products while balancing her academic responsibilities. 
Through collection and recycling of gardening products, partnerships 
with other local vendors, and customer-appreciation events, Coral has 
established her business as a generous and compassionate figure in the 
community. Coral's Corner has been in business for just over a year and 
has expanded to an additional location in response to strong community 
interest.
  Businesses like Coral's Corner are vital to the economic livelihood 
of the North Country. Entrepreneurship drives job growth and 
sustainability and creates the opportunity for individuals to turn 
passions into careers. Coral's drive to pursue her passion from a young 
age makes her a tremendous role model for both her peers and adults. 
Her commitment to growing and selling quality products while also 
giving back to her community reflects exemplary professionalism and 
maturity.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to thank Coral 
for her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to her community, and I 
congratulate Coral's Corner and Cones on a successful first year in 
business.
