R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Deysi Martinez of Channelview has distinguished
  herself by quickly mastering English as her second language and
  winning third-place honors in the spelling bee at Crenshaw
  Elementary School; and
         WHEREAS, Miss Martinez could not speak English when she first
  enrolled in the Channelview Independent School District in the
  spring of 2010; in just a few short months, however, she became
  fluent by studying hard with her teachers at Crenshaw Elementary
  and by practicing with her classmates and a computer language
  program; and
         WHEREAS, Now a fourth grader, this remarkable young girl
  improved her language skills so quickly that she decided to take
  part in the school-wide Crenshaw spelling bee; her third-place
  finish has thrilled her teachers and parents, and she will now have
  the opportunity to participate in the district-wide spelling
  competition; and
         WHEREAS, Miss Martinez has also done an outstanding job with
  her other schoolwork and was named the Crenshaw Student of the Month
  for February 2011 in recognition of her good grades and excellent
  citizenship skills; and
         WHEREAS, In realizing her impressive accomplishments, Deysi
  Martinez has demonstrated considerable intelligence and
  dedication, and she may indeed take great pride in her success; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Deysi Martinez on rapidly
  mastering English as her second language and on placing third in the
  Crenshaw Elementary School spelling bee and extend to her sincere
  best wishes for a bright future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Miss Martinez as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
