  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
John Horton who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. John Horton is a senior at Pomona High School and 
received this award because his determination and hard work have 
allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by John Horton 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 John Horton for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt he will exhibit the same dedication he has shown in his 
academic career to his future accomplishments.
