  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Jose Avila for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for 
Youth award. Jose Avila is an 11th grader at Jefferson Senior High and 
received this award because his determination and hard work have 
allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Jose Avila 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 Jose Avila for winning the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no doubt 
he will exhibit the same dedication and character in all his future 
accomplishments.
