 1-1           WHEREAS, Jesus Diaz has earned the distinction of being
 1-2     valedictorian at Weslaco High School, and for achieving this

 1-4     recognition; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself "valedictorian"
 1-6     requires not only intellect and aptitude, but four years of
 1-7     dedication to the highest academic standards; the valedictorian

 1-9     math and science to language arts to social studies, while
1-10     demonstrating an unwavering commitment to education; and
1-11           WHEREAS, The valedictorian serves as a role model and leads
1-12     by example, combining a steadfast vision of excellence with a
1-13     tenacious enthusiasm; the competition for this coveted honor is
1-14     often fierce, although the spirit of the rivalry remains rooted in
1-15     a tradition of goodwill and the rewards of the countless hours of
1-16     study and preparation are myriad; and
1-17           WHEREAS, Mr. Diaz has earned the respect and admiration of
1-18     his friends and classmates at Weslaco High School, and as he
1-19     embraces a future bright with promise it is most fitting to pay
1-20     tribute to him for this outstanding accomplishment; now, therefore,
1-21     be it
1-22           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-23     Legislature hereby congratulate Jesus Diaz on being named the 2001
1-24     valedictorian at Weslaco High School and wish him well in all his
 2-1     future endeavors; and, be it further
 2-2           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-3     prepared for Mr. Diaz as an expression of high regard by the Texas
 2-4     House of Representatives.
