                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jaelynn Walls of 
Pearland, TX for earning a Davidson Fellows Scholarship.
  The Davidson Institute of Talent Development awarded Jaelynn a 
$25,000 Davidson Fellows Scholarship for her project, Humanity On-
Screen: Engendering Positive Self-Perception and Political Activism in 
Persons with Marginalized Identities. Only 20 students across the 
country earned this prestigious scholarship. Jaelynn's project was 
inspired by her desire to present characters of marginalized racial or 
cultural backgrounds painted in a positive light due to her inability 
to identify with protagonists in literature growing up.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Jaelynn Walls for earning a Davidson Fellows 
Scholarship. We are extremely proud of her and wish her luck in her 
future studies.
