                        Wednesday, June 10, 2026

  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional 
young woman from Rochester, New York, whose dedication to academic 
excellence, leadership, and service has earned her admission to the 
United States Air Force Academy: Ariana Toner.
  Throughout her academic career, Ariana has distinguished herself as a 
driven, intellectually curious, and highly accomplished student. Known 
by her teachers and peers as a role model, she approaches every 
challenge with determination, creativity, and a commitment to 
excellence. Whether tackling complex academic pursuits or working 
collaboratively toward a shared goal, Ariana consistently demonstrates 
the qualities of a thoughtful leader and dedicated teammate.
  Ariana's mentors describe her as goal-oriented, resilient, and 
tireless in her pursuit of success. She possesses a natural ability to 
problem-solve, adapt to new challenges, and remain focused in the face 
of uncertainty. These qualities, coupled with her strong work ethic and 
desire for continuous growth, have allowed her to excel both inside and 
outside the classroom.
  Mr. Speaker, I am confident that Ariana Toner will continue to thrive 
as she embarks on this next chapter at the United States Air Force 
Academy. On behalf of the Rochester community, I congratulate her on 
this remarkable achievement and extend my very best wishes for 
continued success in the years ahead.
