  Ms. PETERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Graciela 
Menendez for earning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for 
Youth Award.
  Graciela has achieved great things, all while overcoming adversity 
and challenges along the way. Students like Graciela, who strive to 
make the most of their education, develop crucial skills and a work 
ethic that will guide them for the rest of their lives. This award is a 
testament to Graciela's hard work, determination, and perseverance at 
Jefferson Jr./Sr. High School and is clearly just the beginning of a 
bright and promising future.
  It is my honor to congratulate Graciela Menendez on achieving the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth Award.
