  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Shea Blackman for receiving the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors 
for Youth award.
   Shea Blackman is a 7th grader at Drake Middle School and received 
this award because her determination and hard work have allowed her to 
overcome adversities.
   The dedication demonstrated by Shea Blackman 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 Shea Blackman 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.
