                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PAT FALLON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Audrey Smith 
for earning the dean's list award at the First Robotics World 
Competition in Houston, Texas. Ms. Smith is one of ten students who 
received recognition for her leadership, team efforts, and community 
involvement.
  A native of Rockwall, Texas, Ms. Smith is currently a rising senior 
at Rockwall High School. As a student, she focuses on science, 
technology, engineering, math, and college preparatory courses. In her 
junior year, she led her competitive robotics team and received 
numerous honors for her work, including the Honor Roll and the 
President's Volunteer Service Award. After graduation, Ms. Smith plans 
to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, 
and study mechanical engineering.
  During her free time, Ms. Smith takes opportunities to further her 
knowledge of robotics and participates in her school's varsity tennis 
team, where she was the top ranked player in her sophomore and junior 
years. Additionally, she is an accomplished pianist, recreational 
shooter, and scuba diver. I'm proud to represent such talented students 
in my district, and I have no doubt that she will continue to be an 
exceptional example for her peers.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol to recognize Ms. Smith's outstanding academic performance and 
entrepreneurial spirit. I wish her the best of luck and continued 
success in the new school year.
