WHEREAS, Mariela Cervantes has been named valedictorian of |
|
the Class of 2009 at Kimball High School in Dallas and for achieving |
|
this significant honor, she 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 her class, the |
|
valedictorian 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, Mariela Cervantes |
|
has earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and |
|
classmates at Kimball 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 Mariela Cervantes on being named |
|
the 2009 valedictorian at Kimball High School and extend to her |
|
sincere best wishes for continued success in all her endeavors. |
