                            MY POSSIBILITIES

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly recognize the 
fifth anniversary and expansion of My Possibilities, a nonprofit 
organization serving disabled young adults in north Texas.
  My Possibilities began with the vision of three dedicated mothers of 
special needs children. These mothers dreamed of something more for 
their kids beyond a high school education. After 2 years of hard work, 
they created the first full-day, full-year continuing education program 
for disabled Texans. In fact, last week, they commemorated the grand 
opening of a new facility in Plano so even more Texans could become 
lifelong learners.
  My Possibilities stands as a testament to the American spirit of 
freedom and free enterprise. Three moms took an idea to fill a need in 
our community and made it a reality. That's truly remarkable. The folks 
at My Possibilities live up to their motto: ``Make every moment 
count.''
  To the staff, board of directors, and Chairman Charmaine Solomon, 
thank you for your tireless efforts and your dedication.
