By:  Chavez                                                       H.R. No. 1199



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Those Texans who demonstrate great courage in 
emergency situations are truly deserving of our admiration and 
gratitude, and Carmenita Littlejohn of El Paso is one such 
individual; and
	WHEREAS, A teacher at Montwood Middle School, Ms. Littlejohn 
was accompanying sixth-grade students on a walking field trip when 
a driver lost control of his car, which veered directly toward the 
group; and
	WHEREAS, Reacting quickly, Ms. Littlejohn rushed straight 
into the path of the speeding vehicle to push two students to 
safety, striking her head in the process, but downplaying her 
injury so as not to further scare her students; and
	WHEREAS, Her selfless act of heroism most assuredly saved the 
lives of two of her students, and in acting as she did, Ms. 
Littlejohn distinguished herself as a remarkable member of her 
community and earned recognition from the El Paso Area Chapter of 
the American Red Cross; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Carmenita Littlejohn of El Paso for her 
heroism and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, 
be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Littlejohn as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
