                         NATIONAL TEACHERS DAY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, no matter if a task is 
great or small, finish it or not at all.
  The lesson here is that we should always complete what we start, no 
matter how challenging it may be. We should never give up. I learned 
this valuable lesson from Mr. Little in his wood shop class, and it 
still sticks with me today.
  Teachers share inspiring and life-changing lessons with their 
students every day. We all have a teacher who has taught us an 
important lesson that we still remember.
  Our favorite teachers take us beyond a textbook and teach us life 
lessons that we carry with us forever. On National Teachers Day, we 
pause to recognize our dedicated teachers who are making a difference.
  Teaching is a noble profession. Teachers have had a profound impact 
on doctors, lawyers, preachers, and, yes, believe it or not, Members of 
Congress.
  Madam Speaker, I give a special shout-out today to all the teachers 
of eastern North Carolina.
