                        Wednesday, May 15, 2024

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Maya 
Gordon, a recipient of the prestigious 2024 Broward League of Cities 
Scholarship. This honor is awarded to Broward County's most ambitious 
and accoladed students who aspire to attain a career contributing to 
municipal government.
  Maya plans to attend Florida State University to pursue a degree in 
political science after she graduates from Marjory Stoneman Douglas 
High School. She has worked diligently to serve her community, 
completing over 2,190 documented service hours. She served as Vice 
Chair of the Broward County Public Schools Human Relations Committee, 
and her dedication to her community can also be seen through her 
nomination for the Miami Herald Silver Knight Award, an honor reserved 
for high school seniors who are not only academically adept but also 
notable contributors towards their community.
  Maya's intellectual prowess has been demonstrated through her 
achievements, including being a National Speech and Debate Association 
Academic All-American qualifier and receiving the AP Scholar Award. Her 
dedication to the field of science is evident from her title as an 
Experimental Science Honors Student of Excellence. Maya's future plans 
are equally impressive. She aspires to a career in public office, where 
she can use her talents and energy to implement policies and programs 
that promote equity and justice.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge you to join me in acknowledging Ms. Maya Gordon's 
outstanding achievements and significant contributions to her 
community.
