H.R. No. 143
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Sarang Patel has been named salutatorian of the
  Class of 2013 at Dumas High School, and for achieving this
  significant honor, he indeed merits special recognition; and
         WHEREAS, Earning the title of salutatorian requires not only
  intellect and aptitude, but also 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 one of the highest achieving students in his class,
  the salutatorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and
  grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors
  at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as on
  their hopes and ambitions for the future; and
         WHEREAS, The son of proud parents Shaun and Avni Patel,
  Sarang Patel has earned the respect and admiration of his teachers
  and classmates at Dumas High School, and his exceptional scholastic
  ability, hard work, and commitment to excellence have surely opened
  the way to limitless opportunities for this outstanding young
  Texan; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Sarang Patel,
  salutatorian of the Dumas High School Class of 2013, and extend
  sincere best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Sarang Patel as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
