  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Mikah Vega for receiving the Adams County Mayors and Commissioners 
Youth Award.
  Mikah Vega is a 12th grader at Mountain Range High School and 
received this award because his determination and hard work have 
allowed him to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Mikah Vega 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 Mikah Vega for winning the 
Adams County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Award. I have no doubt he 
will exhibit the same dedication and character in all of his future 
accomplishments.
