                        TRIBUTE TO JESSICA PRICE

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am pleased to recognize 
Jessica Price, the Citrus County Teacher of the Year from Lecanto High 
School in Lecanto, FL.
  Although she never planned to become a Spanish teacher, Jessica's 
passion for sharing a love for language makes her an excellent 
educator. Jessica loved learning as a student in Citrus County, 
focusing on Spanish and chorus as her favorite classes. She had 
originally planned to become a music teacher, but Spanish captivated 
her to teach the language to students each year. In college, she 
studied in Mexico, living with a family and immersing herself in 
Spanish culture, furthering her love of the Spanish language.
  Jessica teaches Spanish at Lecanto High School and has been a teacher 
since 2011. She majored in Spanish and English, with minors in 
linguistics and teaching English as a second language from the 
University of Florida. Jessica also oversees her school's honor 
society.
  I extend my best wishes to Jessica and look forward to learning of 
her continued success in the years to come.
