                            HON. JEFF DENHAM

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 19, 2012

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Fresno resident 
Hunter Wright upon being named a recipient of Pacific Gas & Electric 
Company's (PG&E) 2012 Bright Minds Scholarship, a prestigious academic 
scholarship awarded to a small number of California high school 
students each year.
  Miss Wright is one of 8,060 students from PG&E's Northern and Central 
California service area to apply for the $30,000 Bright Minds 
Scholarship this year. The scholarship is renewable for up to four 
additional years. As one of eight winners, Miss Wright joins a highly 
select group of students participating in the utility company's largest 
scholarship program.
  Miss Wright was informed of her scholarship award while sitting in 
her Advanced Placement English class, when Edison High School 
administrators and representatives from PG&E bearing a banner, 
balloons, cupcakes, and an oversize check surprised her. Her parents, 
Doreen and Dave Wright, were also present for the announcement.
  Miss Wright graduated from Edison High School on June 12, 2012. In 
addition to excelling in academics, she actively participated in cross-
country, lacrosse, tennis, and regularly volunteered for various 
community causes. Miss Wright will attend the University of Miami this 
fall, where she plans to study English. She aspires to be an English 
professor.
  In addition to her academic and career goals, Miss Wright hopes to 
continue traveling the world to do volunteer work.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Miss Hunter Wright of Fresno, 
California, for her impressive academic accomplishments. I congratulate 
her upon being named a recipient of PG&E's 2012 Bright Minds 
Scholarship and wish her the best of success in her future endeavors.
