   RECOGNIZING MACY MAINE AND HANNAH MASON, INSPIRATIONAL ROLE MODELS

  (Ms. McSALLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize two southern Arizona 
young women for their achievements and for serving as role models in 
their communities. Macy Maine, a senior at Buena High School, and 
Hannah Mason, a senior at Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, were recently 
given the 2016 Brilliant, Beautiful and Bold Role Model Award from the 
Girls Rule Foundation. The award recognizes only a handful of young 
women across the State who are making a difference.
  Macy was given the award for her active engagement in the community. 
She represented her high school as an American Legion Auxiliary Arizona 
Girls State delegate, is an All-American cheerleader, and represented 
her city at the Power Up Teen Leadership Conference. She is a frequent 
volunteer and hopes to enter public service.
  Hannah has been a selfless leader for her family and community. After 
a car accident took the life of her father and severely injured her 
older sister, Hannah stepped up to care for her family. She helped her 
sister through multiple surgeries while continuing to excel at school 
and remain active in the community. She hopes to enter medical school 
one day.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate both Macy and Hannah for being 
inspirational role models to their peers and wish them the best of luck 
as they continue to pursue their dreams.
