WHEREAS, David J. Castillo has been named valedictorian of |
|
|
the Class of 2009 at Southside High School in San Antonio, 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, Throughout his academic career, David Castillo has |
|
|
earned the respect and admiration of his teachers and classmates at |
|
|
Southside, and his exceptional scholastic ability, hard work, and |
|
|
commitment to excellence have surely opened the way to limitless |
|
|
opportunities for this outstanding young Texan; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate David J. Castillo on being named |
|
|
the 2009 valedictorian at Southside High School and extend to him |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Castillo as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
