  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Erika Lopez who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Erika Lopez is an 8th grader at Mandalay Middle School 
and received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Erika Lopez is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential students at all levels strive to make the most of their 
education and develop a work ethic which will guide them for the rest 
of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Erika Lopez for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the
