|
|
WHEREAS, Jon English and Joey Morales have formed an |
|
|
outstanding team as members of the Buda Buddies mentorship program |
|
|
at Buda Elementary School, and as Joey moves on to junior high |
|
|
school, it is indeed fitting that the four years of camaraderie they |
|
|
have enjoyed together be recognized; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Joey Morales was just seven years old and in the |
|
|
second grade when he and Mr. English became Buda Buddies; during |
|
|
their first year in the program, they played computer games during |
|
|
every visit, and then moved on to basketball, football, and soccer; |
|
|
Mr. English has watched with great pride as his buddy has grown and |
|
|
matured from a rambunctious child into an accomplished young man |
|
|
who is an admired leader on campus and who excels in his indoor |
|
|
soccer league and demonstrates tremendous team spirit; too small to |
|
|
hit the regulation basketball hoop when they first met, Joey now |
|
|
outscores Mr. English from behind the three-point line; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition, Joey recently broadened his artistic |
|
|
horizons through participation in the school play, a production |
|
|
based on the Boston Tea Party; he gave a riveting, nuanced |
|
|
performance as the sea captain whose ship is boarded forcibly by |
|
|
angry colonists; moreover, Joey has demonstrated exceptional |
|
|
ability in mathematics, and his talent in that discipline will |
|
|
surely serve him well as he continues his education and eventually |
|
|
embarks on an interesting and rewarding career; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although their time in the Buda Buddies program has |
|
|
come to an end, Jon English will forever treasure his experience as |
|
|
a mentor to Joey Morales, and we are pleased to join him in |
|
|
congratulating this remarkable young Texan on his many noteworthy |
|
|
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the four happy years that Jon |
|
|
English and Joey Morales have spent together in the Buda Elementary |
|
|
School Buda Buddies program and extend to them both sincere best |
|
|
wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Morales and Mr. English as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
