  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Katia Meraz for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award. Katia Meraz is a 10th grader at Jefferson High School 
and received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Katia Meraz is exemplary of the type 
of achievement that can be attained with hard work and perseverance. It 
is essential students at all levels strive to make the most of their 
education and develop a work ethic which will guide them for the rest 
of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Katia Meraz for winning the 
Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I have no doubt 
she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of her future 
accomplishments.
