             RECOGNIZING NORTHEAST GEORGIA'S STEM STUDENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor seventeen 
of northeast Georgia's brightest high school students. The National 
Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists and the National Academy 
of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists selected these young 
scholars to represent the state of Georgia at their respective national 
conventions held in late June.
  Despite the fact that these students hailed from different parts of 
the district, they share a common interest in science and medical-
related fields. Representing our state as delegates gave them a chance 
to discuss their interests and ideas--whether they involved becoming 
our nation's next leading scientist or becoming the brain power behind 
the next iPhone.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the following outstanding 
young people: Omeka Bhatia, John Bradley, Justin Mayo, Tyrese Mcintosh, 
Andrew O'Brian, Thinh Pham-Hoang, David Tran, and Ana Woodsides for 
attending the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders. 
Additionally, Briana Bishop, Keah Gruduah, Andres Meza, Garrett Raxter, 
Angela Rivera, Lorenza Rojas-Gonzalez, Helen Viec, and Amber York have 
made northeast Georgia proud by attending the Congress of Future 
Medical Leaders.
  These talented students are carving out a future for STEM fields and 
will help lead the next generation of innovation in our country. I am 
honored to represent them in Congress, and I wish them the best as they 
run after their dreams.
