                        Tuesday, August 16, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
bright and vibrant student, Lillian Lewis. Lillian has shown what can 
be done through hard work, dedication, and a desire to achieve success.
  Lillian Lewis is the Valedictorian of the Holmes County Central High 
School Class of 2022. She currently has a 4.04 GPA. Lillian is the 
daughter of Mr. Benjamin and Mrs. Shanatosha Lewis. Lillian has always 
been supported through every endeavor by her family. The love and 
respect they share for one another has taken her a long way.
  Throughout her high school years, Lillian has prided herself on being 
the absolute best version of herself. She is driven, dependable, and 
resourceful. These characteristics shaped her school life tremendously. 
She has accomplished many academic goals already. She is a part of the 
National Honors Society, Beta Club, National Society of High School 
Scholars, The National Society of Future Physicians, and the 
Superintendent's Round Table.
  Lillian has chosen to spend the next chapter of her life at the 
University of Mississippi in Oxford MS, majoring in biomedical 
engineering on a Pre-Med track to become an internal medicine 
physician. Lillian hopes to take every experience life has to offer her 
and learn from them, whether they are good, bad, happy, or sad. Lillian 
lives knowing that without God none of this would be possible.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Holmes 
County Central Highschool's 2022 valedictorian, Lillian Lewis, for 
being an exemplary student and citizen.
