RECOGNIZING JUSTICE GIORDANO
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to
recognize Miss Justice Giordano from Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
Justice, a 17-year-old junior at Portage Area High School, has been
selected by the Pennsylvania Chapter of Students Against Destructive
Decisions to serve as an ambassador for the upcoming year.
Students Against Destructive Decisions, often referred to as SADD, is
the Nation's premier youth health and safety organization. The
organization's mission is to empower young people to successfully
confront the risks and pressures that challenge them throughout their
daily lives. Justice will play an integral role in achieving that
mission and raising awareness across the Commonwealth. Most recently,
Justice has shifted her focus to the dangers of vaping and electronic
cigarettes.
Justice's school principal had nothing but great things to say about
her. He said, ``Justice is a leader among her peers, and she strives to
make positive decisions while making those around her better. We are
very proud of Justice here at Portage Area.''
Madam Speaker, I am confident Justice's positive attitude and
dedication to helping fellow students will help her excel in this
exciting new role.
Congratulations, Justice.
