                        Thursday, April 21, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the many 
accomplishments of Marisela Galeana, of the Mercer Blumberg Learning 
Center of Seguin, Texas.
  Ms. Galeana teaches Health, Physical Education, Spanish and English 
as a Second Language to children in grades nine through twelve at the 
Learning Center. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology 
and Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
  Through her years of teaching Ms. Galeana finds that her most 
rewarding experience occurred four years ago when one of her students 
chose to honor her at the high school

HERO's dinner, an annual event where top students and student leaders 
honor the Seguin ISD employee who has had the most positive effect on 
his or her life. Ms. Galeana said that she was honored, because she did 
not realize the influence she had on that student. She has said that to 
this day she has the medal she received hanging on her rearview mirror.
  Ms. Galeana continues to make a difference for her students, helping 
to turn them into successful lifelong learners. Marisela Galeana is an 
exemplary teacher, and a blessing to the people of Seguin. She has an 
excellent career ahead of her, and I wish her the best of luck.
