                        TRIBUTE TO JOSELYN LEON

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Joselyn Leon, the Palm 
Beach County Teacher of the Year, from Belle Glade Elementary School in 
Belle Glade, FL.
  Joselyn's students serve as her biggest inspiration. She believes she 
is making a positive impact in the world through her work with them. 
She is known for her in-depth planner that details each activity. 
Joselyn knew she wanted to be a teacher because of her passion for 
working with kids. She prayed for guidance in her career and found 
teaching to be the answer. While teaching is her official job, Joselyn 
does not consider it a job because she loves what she does.
  Joselyn became a fifth-grade teacher at Belle Glade Elementary School 
because she wanted to give back to her community. In 2017, she joined 
the School District of Palm Beach County and, shortly after, was named 
the school's Beginning Teacher of the Year.
  I convey my sincere gratitude and best wishes to Jocelyn for her 
devotion to her students. I look forward to hearing about her continued 
good work in the years to come.
