                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 2013

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable student, Ms. Sabrina D. Caldwell, a Kosciusko High School 
Senior who is the Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year 
and has assumed the role of 2013 Youth of the Year for the state of 
Mississippi by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mississippi. She was named 
state runner-up earlier this year and assumed the role after the 
current winner was unable to fulfill his duties as Mississippi's Youth 
of the Year.
  In addition to winning the title, Ms. Caldwell will also receive 
scholarship money from the Mississippi Area Council as well as the 
Tupperware Corporation. She was selected among 18 organizations across 
Mississippi for her sound character, leadership skills and willingness 
to give back to the community.
  Being named the 2013 State Youth of the Year is one of the highest 
honor a Boys and Girls Club member can receive. The title recognizes 
outstanding contributions to a member's family, school, community and 
her Boys and Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles 
that are overcome. She is the daughter of Roschella and Billy Caldwell.
  Ms. Caldwell has maintained a 3.0 grade point average at Kosciusko 
High School. Her awards include: Advanced On Biology I, Algebra I and 
English II. She is the secretary for the Mayor's Youth Council, a 
hospice volunteer for Sta-Home, a member of the Keystone and the 
Leadership Club at the Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club and a member 
of the Kosciusko High School Beta Club.
  She is also currently enlisted in United States National Guard. Ms. 
Caldwell plans to attend Meridian Community College to major in 
physical therapy and later go on to a major university to further her 
education.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Sabrina D. Caldwell.
