H.R. No. 2045
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Ruoheng Zhang has been named salutatorian of the
  Class of 2009 at Sandra Day O'Connor High School in Helotes, and for
  achieving this significant honor, she indeed merits special
  recognition; and
         WHEREAS, Earning the title of salutatorian 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 second-highest achieving student in her class,
  the salutatorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and
  grants; she also gains the opportunity to address her fellow
  seniors at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as
  well as their hopes and ambitions for the future; and
         WHEREAS, Throughout her academic career, Ruoheng Zhang has
  earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and classmates at
  O'Connor High School, and her 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 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Ruoheng Zhang on being named the
  2009 salutatorian of Sandra Day O'Connor High School and extend to
  her sincere best wishes for continued success in all her endeavors;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Zhang as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
