  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Mariam Ibdaiwi, who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth Award. Mariam Ibdaiwi is a senior at Arvada High 
School and received this award because her determination and hard work 
have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Mariam Ibdwaiwi is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential that students at all levels strive to 
make the most of their education and develop a work ethic that will 
guide them for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Mariam Ibdwaiwi for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth Award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication she has shown in her 
high school career to her college career and future accomplishments.
