HONORING ESTHER OMOYIWOLA
(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 Esther
Omoyiwola, a graduate student at Georgia Southern University.
She was awarded the 2025 Amateur Radio Digital Communication
Scholarship, an example of her academic achievement, resilience, and
determination.
Her determination was shaped by the strength and community she found
in Georgia Southern after leaving her home country of Nigeria.
After arriving, she immersed herself in research, focused on power
converters and machine learning applications.
With countless hours of research and lab work, Esther didn't hold
back on the scholarship application. She plans to use the scholarship
money to purchase tools and resources to support her research, as well
as to cover some school expenses.
Now, her focus is towards helping the next generation of women
engineers and young girls like her who face uncertainty in the next
chapter of their life. She wants to pay it forward, as it was a path
she didn't take alone.
