WHEREAS, Eugene Matir has been named valedictorian of the |
|
|
Class of 2007 at Ross S. Sterling High School in Baytown, and for |
|
|
achieving this significant honor, he indeed merits special |
|
|
recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian requires not only |
|
|
intellect and aptitude, but four years of dedication to the highest |
|
|
academic standards; the student who garners this coveted |
|
|
distinction must demonstrate a thorough understanding of a wide |
|
|
range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and social |
|
|
studies, yet the rewards of the countless hours of study and |
|
|
preparation are myriad; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being |
|
|
recognized as the highest achieving student in his class, the |
|
|
valedictorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and |
|
|
grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors |
|
|
at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as |
|
|
their hopes and ambitions for the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Matir has been an all-A student since elementary |
|
|
school; during his time at Sterling High, he has been involved in |
|
|
many organizations and activities, including the National Honor |
|
|
Society, the band, the Key Club, the Red Cross Club, the Good |
|
|
Sportsmanship League, and the Spanish Club; moreover, he was |
|
|
selected as the January 2007 Baytown Youth of the Month and |
|
|
participated in Boys State in 2006; he plans to attend The |
|
|
University of Texas at Austin to study biology; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of proud parents Estanislad and Rowena |
|
|
Matir, Eugene Matir has earned the respect and admiration of his |
|
|
teachers and classmates at Sterling High, and his exceptional |
|
|
scholastic ability, hard work, and commitment to excellence have |
|
|
surely opened the way to limitless opportunities for this |
|
|
remarkable young Texan; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Eugene Matir on being named |
|
|
valedictorian of the Class of 2007 at Ross S. Sterling High School |
|
|
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness and |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Matir as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
