H.R. No. 3141
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         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.
