                    RECOGNIZING DIANA ANAHI BARRIOS

  (Mr. Correa of California was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Diana Barrios, a 
homegrown, passionate leader.
  Diana graduated from Oxford Academy at the young age of 16 after 
finishing her sophomore year. She then earned a bachelor's degree in 
political science and sociology from UCLA with high honors and 
completed a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University.
  Diana's commitment to public service continues to be unwavering, and 
I was honored to name her as one of my 2025 Women of the Year.


                         Honoring Denise Osorio

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Coach Denise Osorio, a 
youth mentor, mother, and community leader who calls the city of 
Anaheim home.
  Denise is the head coach of the Anaheim High School boys' and girls' 
water polo teams.
  Denise took on the challenge to rebuild Anaheim High School's aquatic 
program after 20 years with no swimming pool and no swimming program. 
Under her leadership, the girls' water polo team captured the first-
ever CIF division title in women's sports in the school's history.
  Beyond that, Denise is a devoted mother of three, Nicholas, 
Rosemarie, and Emma. I am honored to name her one of my 2025 Women of 
the Year.

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Beverly McNeff, the 
co-founder of KidSingers, an after-school youth chorus program for kids 
in Santa Ana.

[[Page H2477]]

  Beverly is known as ``Mrs. Cool''. Why? Because she teaches kids that 
it is cool to sing together in harmony.
  Beverly is a former actress, broadcaster, and talent agent in 
Hollywood. She is married to KidSingers' founder and director, Paul 
McNeff, and they live in Anaheim with their son, Jeffrey.
  I was honored to name her as one of my 2025 Women of the Year. I know 
Beverly will keep up the good work.


                        Honoring Ana A. Gonzalez

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor a mother and 
community leader who calls California's 46th District her home.
  She serves as district director to Senator Tom Umberg where she 
advocates for 1 million constituents, making sure that their voices are 
heard in Sacramento.
  Ana received her bachelor's degree in legal studies from Chapman 
University and is a graduate of HOPE. Ana is also the mother of 
Victoria and Cyrus.
  I was honored to honor her by naming her as one of my 2025 Women of 
the Year.


                         Honoring Alicia Garcia

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alicia Garcia, a 
mother and community leader who embodies the American Dream.
  Alicia was born in 1961 in Durango, Mexico, and made the brave 
decision to immigrate to the United States in search of the American 
Dream.
  In the early 1990s, Alicia earned her certification as a certified 
nurse assistant.
  Today, 30 years later, Alicia continues to serve her community at 
French Park Care Center, where her impact is felt by her patients, her 
colleagues, and the families she touches and supports on an everyday 
basis. I was honored to name her as one of my 2025 Women of the Year.
