  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Ryan Aouad, 
the first-place winner of the prestigious Pathfinder Scholarship in the 
World Language category. This scholarship is awarded to Palm Beach and 
Martin County students who have displayed excellence in their academic 
and communal endeavors in a multitude of categories.
  Ryan attends West Boca Raton High School, where he has further 
advanced his skills as a polyglot. His passion lies with the Spanish 
language, which led him to earn a distinguished mention on his Spanish 
AICE/AS test. He also maintains fluency in French while possessing the 
skillset to speak intermediate

Arabic and beginner Russian. He uses his language skills to further 
assist those in his community, which can be seen in his volunteer work 
as a lifeguard and swim coach, in which he is able to dedicate his 
efforts to teaching non-native English-speaking swimmers. We are 
hopeful that Ryan's multi-lingual capabilities will pave the way for a 
successful career in foreign affairs, where his unique skills and 
perspective will be invaluable.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me today in recognizing Mr. Ryan 
Aouad as an excellent student and notable contributor to the field of 
world languages.
