                         Thursday, June 8, 2006

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity 
to recognize Ms. Eugenia Maria Bulnes, the Principal of the Sister 
Carolyn Learning Center. Principal Bulnes is retiring on June 9, 2006 
after 8 years as principal and over 40 years as an educator and mentor 
to the youth of South Florida.
  Eugenia, arrived in our great country in 1961 after fleeing the 
Castro regime. Since then, she found her life's calling working with 
children. In fact, Eugenia has spent the majority of her life, 
mentoring and guiding youth.
  Throughout her career she has established herself as a selfless 
leader, and her dedication to her field is unquestionable. It is the 
perseverance and compassion of people like Eugenia that enables our 
country to continue to prosper and grow.
  I am grateful for the tremendous diligence and dedication Eugenia 
exhibited on behalf of the student body at Carolyn Learning Center. 
Eugenia's dedication to enriching the lives of others is truly 
admirable. The passion she exerted towards her profession is not only 
commendable, but inspirational as well.
  Once again, I commend Eugenia for her distinguished career as an 
educator and I applaud her for all the tremendous successes you have 
accomplished throughout the years.
