                    CONGRATULATING THE CLASS OF 2024

  (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. Mr. Speaker, ``By the powers vested in 
me by the State of North Carolina, I now declare you graduates.'' We 
look forward to hearing these words along with ``You may turn your 
tassels.''
  Graduation marks a significant milestone for students across the 
country and especially in eastern North Carolina.
  Having served in the classroom for nearly 20 years, I extend a 
heartfelt congratulations to the class of 2024 on this momentous 
occasion. Graduation is not merely a culmination of academic 
achievements but a testament to their dedication, perseverance, and 
hard work. You may see the achievement accomplished by these students 
is an enormous milestone.
  This is a celebration that is felt by families, teachers, mentors, 
and friends. Their unwavering encouragement and belief in our graduates 
are huge. We are counting on the graduates of eastern North Carolina. 
Go forth now and make us proud.
