I want to pay tribute to a very special young student from Florida. I recently had the pleasure of meeting 10yearold Hilda Canes and her parents. Jose and Hilda Canes. Hilda. a fourth grade student attending Brentwood Elementary School in Sarasota. FL. recently won the U.S. Constitution National Essay Contest sponsored by Weekly Reader magazine. In her winning essay. Hilda reflects on constitutional freedoms and the personal meaning those freedoms hold for her. It is especially meaningful as Hilda was born in Cuba and witnessed her father being imprisoned for 3 years for simply requesting to emigrate to the United States. Mr. President.
