                       RECOGNIZING ANGELA FLORES

  (Mr. MURPHY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Angela Emireth 
Flores, a constituent of mine and an exceptional student.
  Angela is a senior at Ocracoke High School and soon will become the 
first student enrolled through Hyde Academy, where she will graduate 
from high school with an associate degree from Beaufort County 
Community College. This incredible program helps students who wish to 
accelerate their academic careers get a jump start at the college 
level.
  As a surgeon, I am elated to hear that Angela plans on hitting the 
books hard to become a nurse anesthetist. I love our nurse 
anesthetists. Eastern North Carolina needs more dedicated and more 
diligent individuals in medicine.
  Serving patients is one of the most rewarding and meaningful career 
paths one can pursue, and I am glad that Angela is pursuing medicine. 
As a physician of 35 years, I derived great joy from treating patients 
and helping them in times of great difficulty. I know she will also.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Angela on her remarkable achievement, and 
a special thanks to her parents for nurturing her in her educational 
journey. I wish her the best as she furthers her studies.
