                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 2013

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable student, Ms. Terriona Cowan, who was born in Jackson, 
Mississippi, on July 11, 1993. She is the daughter of Mr. Reginald and 
Tianna Bennett. She is a student at Jackson State University, majoring 
in Chemistry Pre-Medicine. As an ambitious chemistry student, majority 
of her time is spent in class or doing biochemical research. She enjoys 
being a research scholar in her field of study and has many long term 
goals to enhance it.
  Aside from using her intellectual gift, she is also committed to the 
community where she believes service is the way to build the world. She 
is a dedicated volunteer at Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital. 
Tending to kids with sickness is her motivation throughout the day. On 
her free time, she often goes to the reservoir and meditates on the 
blessings that God has yet to cease in her life.
  After accepting Christ at a young age at Pleasant Grove M. B. Church 
in Bentonia, Mississippi she understands the importance of giving God 
credit for the things that he has done. In the future, she looks 
forward to being a positive role model to others that want to make the 
world a more peaceful and positive place.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Terriona Cowan.
