Mr. FRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Fred Allen Smalls on receiving an honorary high school diploma from Georgetown High School.

Mr. Smalls was born in Georgetown County and later lived in Mullins before moving to Washington, D.C., with his family.

His graduation ceremony was attended by more than 100 people voicing their support, a testament to the respect and esteem Mr. Smalls has garnered.

His determination is an inspiration to all of us in South Carolina. If you ask him, though, Mr. Smalls will credit many of his accomplishments to his grandmother and his aunt, who raised him and instilled in him the value of perseverance.

I congratulate Mr. Smalls on his inspiring achievement.
