R E S O L U T I O N
|
|
WHEREAS, Our esteemed colleague, the Honorable Norma Chavez, |
|
is marking an important milestone in her life on May 22, 2009, when |
|
she graduates from The University of Texas at Austin; and |
|
WHEREAS, This accomplishment comes as a result of the |
|
determined resolve that Representative Chavez has shown in |
|
completing her undergraduate education and the hard work she has |
|
put in to make that dream a reality; and |
|
WHEREAS, She had initially attended college beginning in 1978 |
|
but suspended her studies at UT in 1983; Ms. Chavez went on to prove |
|
her abilities in many endeavors, including her distinguished |
|
service in the Texas House of Representatives since 1997, but she |
|
has remained dedicated to completing her degree; and |
|
WHEREAS, In the fall of 2006, Representative Chavez resumed |
|
her coursework at UT, balancing her studies with her many other |
|
responsibilities as a public servant and businessperson; now, |
|
nearly three years later, she is realizing her goal of becoming a |
|
college graduate as she receives a bachelor of arts degree in |
|
government; and |
|
WHEREAS, The perseverance that Norma Chavez has exhibited in |
|
earning her degree makes her an admirable role model for others who |
|
aspire to further their educations, and she may take justifiable |
|
pride in becoming a member of the Class of 2009 at UT; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Representative Norma Chavez on her |
|
graduation from The University of Texas at Austin and commend her on |
|
her new status as a proud Texas Ex. |
