  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I come before you today to honor Kristin 
DeVaul of Mannington, West Virginia. Kristin has accomplished a most 
amazing feat, of perfect attendance, through the first 13 years of her 
education, from kindergarten all the way through high school.
  North Marion High School is lucky to have such an outstanding student 
who is committed, to what she believes. Kristin, by attending every 
day, through sickness, conflict, and affliction, has shown that she 
truly believes in the importance of an education, and recognizes at an 
age when not all others do, the value of being educated. It is students 
like Kristin that make the fight for better educational standards 
worthwhile.
  Marion County, West Virginia is home to a person with an amazing will 
to accomplish what she sets her mind to, and she will undoubtedly 
succeed in life with the strong resolve that she possesses. I would 
like to extend my congratulations for a job well done, and for an 
outstanding commitment to education!
