>> judge, I would like to congratulate you, jessica. I mean for being a great role model, but probably more than congratulating you, I would like to congratulate your parents. I mean, you know, it starts at home. And, you know, it's really difficult to make these kind of things work unless you have, you know, the home modeling that you all obviously possess as a family. I wish that we could clone your family because, you know, we have lots of challenges in this community. So I'm always encouraged whenever I see a young person like yourself that has risen to the top, such great accolades from your peers and all the other folks. But you two parents, I mean, a big applause from me. Thanks for doing a great job for your daughter. [applause]
