                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Clever High School 
student Kelsie Ellingsworth, of Clever, Missouri, on her being accepted 
as a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders by the National 
Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists.
  The Congress of Future Medical Leaders is an honors-only program that 
is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the United 
States. Specifically, it's designed for students aspiring to become 
physicians or medical researchers, and provides a path and mentorship 
for students to accomplish their goals.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants are either 
recommended by a teacher or member of the Academy based on a proven 
track record of academic excellence. Delegates represent all 50 states 
plus Puerto Rico, and must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Students like 
Ellingsworth who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify 
top-tier diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Kelsie Ellingsworth has not only excelled in her 
academics, but has shown a passion for science and medicine that will 
serve her future aspirations well. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating her for this achievement. On behalf of Missouri's 
Seventh Congressional District, I wish Kelsie the best of luck in all 
her future endeavors.
