|
preparation are myriad; and |
|
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being |
|
recognized as the second highest achieving student in her class, |
|
the salutatorian 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, Jocelyn Velasquez |
|
has earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and |
|
classmates at Trini Garza Early College 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 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jocelyn |
|
Velasquez on being named the 2011 salutatorian of Trini Garza Early |
|
College High School and extend to her sincere best wishes for |
|
continued success in all her endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Ms. Velasquez as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
