H.R. No. 1973
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Lisa Marie Villanueva has earned the distinction of
being salutatorian at Edcouch-Elsa High School, and for achieving
this auspicious honor she is truly deserving of special legislative
recognition; and
WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself "salutatorian"
requires not only intellect and aptitude, but four years of
dedication to the highest academic standards; the salutatorian 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 salutatorian 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, During her years in high school, Ms. Villanueva has
distinguished herself as a recipient of the Governor's Excellence
Award and as an All-American Scholar; listed in Who's Who Among
American High School Students and on the National Honor Roll, she
has also shared her leadership in numerous student organizations;
and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Maria G. Villanueva, Ms. Villanueva
has earned the respect and admiration of her friends and classmates
at Edcouch-Elsa High School, and as she prepares to attend Stanford
University in California, it is most fitting to pay tribute to her
for this outstanding accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Lisa Marie Villanueva on being
named the 2003 salutatorian at Edcouch-Elsa High School and wish
her well in all her future endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Villanueva as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
