  Mr. SOTO. Madam Speaker, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I honor 
Angelita Seda. Angelita was born in Brooklyn, New York to Puerto Rican 
parents. She began her career as a home health aide at a senior care 
center where she developed a passion for healthcare. After earning her 
nursing degree, she pursued higher education at Northern Essex 
Community College in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where she received 
degrees in medical assistance and billing.
  Angelita loves her family. She has four daughters and one grandson. 
Her biggest asset is her tenacious attitude and willingness to keep 
trying to help people in need. Throughout her career, she has seen many 
people in need of quality healthcare, which has led her to develop a 
work ethic based on empathy for her patients.
  As a senior licensed practical nurse at the Florida Department of 
Health in Osceola County, her responsibilities include school health 
and ensuring students remain healthy. Angelita has worked to provide 
back-to-school vaccinations and health screenings for school-aged 
children. She continues to play an important role in COVID-19 testing 
and vaccinations at the health department.
  For this and more, we honor Angelita Seda.
