  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Rachel Strand who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service 
Ambassadors for Youth award. Rachel Strand is an 8th grader at Drake 
Middle School and received this award because her determination and 
hard work have allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Rachel Strand 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 Rachel Strand for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character to all 
her future accomplishments.
