                     CONGRATULATING MARILYN MIGUEL

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, Marilyn Miguel is 18 years old. She 
graduated from Vineland High School with a 4.0 this year, and she 
received a full-ride scholarship to Harvard University. She also has 
coordinated with Harvard for their new community outreach program, 
Service Starts with Summer, which encourages incoming freshmen to 
create service projects for their various communities.
  As a first-generation college student and a second-generation Mexican 
American, Marilyn knew the importance of implementing a college 
preparation course for incoming seniors at her high school. Her free 
program ran from August 13 to 15, and Marilyn made sure to create an 
accessible, comprehensive college prep course for the people of south 
Jersey.
  Marilyn says the goal of her program was to help people discover 
their own potential. Nothing could be more important. Programs like 
these are essential for the success of young people, and I commend 
Marilyn for bringing it to our community in south Jersey.
  I wish Marilyn the best of luck at Harvard and to have a wonderful 
year. You are truly a star, and south Jersey is proud of you.
