R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, William A. McCormick III of Raymondville has earned 
the distinction of being valedictorian at Med High School, and for 
achieving this auspicious honor he is truly deserving of special 
legislative recognition; and
	WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself "valedictorian" 
requires not only intellect and aptitude, but four years of 
dedication to the highest academic standards; the valedictorian 
must display a firm understanding of the entire curriculum, from 
math and science to language arts to social studies, while 
demonstrating an unwavering commitment to education; and
	WHEREAS, The valedictorian serves as a role model and leads 
by example, combining a steadfast vision of excellence with a 
tenacious enthusiasm; the competition for this coveted honor is 
often fierce, although the spirit of the rivalry remains rooted in a 
tradition of goodwill and the rewards of the countless hours of 
study and preparation are myriad; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. McCormick has earned the respect and admiration 
of his friends and classmates at Med High School, and as he embraces 
a future bright with promise it is most fitting to pay tribute to 
him for this outstanding accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate William A. McCormick III on being 
named the 2003 valedictorian at Med High School and wish him well in 
all his future endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. McCormick as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
