                       HONORING RAYQUAN WILLIAMS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor RayQuan 
Williams, a senior at Groves High School in Savannah, Georgia, whose 
resilience and work ethic has inspired many.
  RayQuan has faced immense hardship, losing his father at the age of 
57 and his mother in December of 2024. Throughout these hardships, he 
has excelled academically, participating in dual-enrollment studies at 
Savannah Technical College, never letting his circumstances define him.
  As a two-way lineman for the Groves High School football team, 
RayQuan demonstrated exceptional work ethic and dedication, earning the 
respect of his coaches and teammates. His perseverance earned him the 
Abbie DeLoach Foundation and the Savannah Quarterback Club Scholar 
Athlete Award which includes scholarship funds that will help him fund 
his educational aspirations.
  Mr. Speaker, RayQuan's story is a testament to the strength of the 
human spirit and the power of community support. We congratulate 
RayQuan, and we are very, very proud of him.
