  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Carmen Ortiz for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Carmen Ortiz is a 12th grader at Jefferson Senior High 
and received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Carmen Ortiz 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 to Carmen Ortiz for winning the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no doubt 
she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her future 
accomplishments.
