  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Richard Schemmel who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth Award. Richard Schemmel is a student at Arvada 
High School and received this award because his determination and hard 
work have allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Richard Schemmel 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 Richard Schemmel 
for winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth Award. 
I have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication and character to 
all his future accomplishments.
