|

Ms. Hoang is a native of Vietnam who emigrated to the United States |

and determination, she has raised her reading scores significantly, |
|
|
while also increasing her self-confidence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For her remarkable achievement, Ms. Hoang will |
|
|
receive a $1,200 scholarship, and Ms. Fullman will receive $1,000 |
|
|
worth of classroom materials; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Hoang's intelligence, hard work, and drive have |
|
|
garnered her this signal honor, and this remarkable young woman may |
|
|
indeed look forward to a future bright with promise; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Giang Hoang on her receipt of a |
|
|
2007 READ 180 All-Star Award and extend to her sincere best wishes |
|
|
for continued achievement; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
