  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. 
A'Mya Ireanna Davis, who is a remarkable student that is making a 
difference in her community.
  A'Mya Ireanna Davis, a Crystal Springs, MS native, is the daughter of 
Mr. Roderick and Monica Davis. She is the eldest of two siblings, Malik 
Jones and Eunicesia Jones.
  A'Mya is a ninth grade honor student at Crystal Springs High School 
where she serves as President of the Freshman Class. Known as a busy-
body, A'mya is very active in her school, church, and community. She is 
a member of the Crystal Springs High School Band, the Soccer team, the 
Track and Field team, Student Council, the Drama Club, a member of My 
Sister's Keeper, an Usher, member of the church choir at Brushy Creek 
MB Church and serves as Youth Secretary and Treasurer for the Fran's 
Branch New Hope Sunday School Institute.
  A'Mya is very passionate about her city and community. In 2012, she 
became the youngest person to serve on the Crystal Springs Mayor's 
Youth Council. While on the Council, she was involved in community 
organizing, performing at youth summits and serving as a representative 
for the youth in Crystal Springs at state-wide leadership conferences. 
Throughout all of her accomplishments at the very tender age of 14, 
A'Mya is a normal teen who loves to sing, dance, write music and 
poetry, and recite speeches. After high school, A'mya plans on 
attending Harvard University to become a prominent attorney.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing an 
energetic and dedicated student, Ms. A'Mya Ireanna Davis, for her 
determination to make a difference in the Crystal Springs community.
