  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exemplary 
academic achievements of Nicole Calamunci, a resident of Chautauqua 
County, city of Jamestown, upon receiving the United States Academy 
Achievement Award.
  Nicole was named a United States National Award winner in English. 
Fewer than 10 percent of all High School Students across America are 
given this prestigious honor. Nicole was nominated for this award by 
her Middle School English teacher.
  Along with her academic achievements Nicole demonstrates a variety of 
other outstanding characteristics. She possesses leadership skills, an 
interest in multiple subjects, and a strong motivation to improve and 
learn new things. Nicole is also very enthusiastic, responsible, and 
has an excellent attitude.
  Nicole is the daughter of John and Gioconda Calamunci of Jamestown, 
and attends Persell Middle School.
  Ms. Calamunci is an exemplary and dedicated student, with much to 
offer. That is why Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor this young lady.
