  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Karli Sample of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Karli is active in the 
community through her school and has been chosen to receive the YWCA 
Women of Excellence Future Leader Award.
  Karli has held several leadership roles, has been involved in 
athletics and fine arts programs, is committed to being a volunteer, 
and has maintained a weighted GPA of 4.5, ranking second in her class. 
Karli's honors include being selected homecoming queen, a Drug Free 
Super STAR, a Cotillion for Achievement finalist, a DAR Good Citizen, 
and a Wendy's Heisman state finalist. She won six state engineering 
competitions and qualified for nationals each year.
  Karli's nominator states, ``Karli Sample has made the most out of her 
four high school years by staying actively and consistently involved in 
school and community activities. . . . Karli's spirit and positive 
attitude have inspired many to follow in the same footsteps, whether it 
be on the court, in the classroom, or out in the community.''
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Karli 
Sample. She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in and 
beyond the St. Joseph Community. I am honored to represent her in the 
United States Congress.
