WHEREAS, During the 83rd Legislative Session, Audrey Claire |
|
|
Rhynerson, a bright and energetic eighth-grade public school |
|
|
student, decided, on her own volition, to forgo a typical |
|
|
eighth-grader's "fun in the sun" spring break when she sought to |
|
|
learn more about the legislative process and Texas history by |
|
|
volunteering in a state legislative office; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Audrey's desire to increase her understanding of the |
|
|
workings of state government was piqued during a trip to the Texas |
|
|
Capitol that she organized for her fellow scouts in Troop No. 292 in |
|
|
2008; the visit enabled each of the girls to earn a model citizen |
|
|
badge; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hoping to one day attend law school and become an |
|
|
elected official herself, Audrey contacted the office of State |
|
|
Representative Four Price and communicated her wish to work at the |
|
|
Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Audrey volunteered each day during her spring break |
|
|
and ably assisted the representative's staff by performing a number |
|
|
of administrative and legislative tasks; in addition, she observed |
|
|
house committee proceedings, and she spent time with Representative |
|
|
Price on the house floor while the Texas House of Representatives |
|
|
was in session; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With an avid appreciation for history and a genuine |
|
|
love of civics, Audrey is an outstanding scholar in her middle |
|
|
school; she has received a medal from Duke University in |
|
|
recognition of her high SAT scores and is a member of the National |
|
|
Honor Society; she is president of the student council and has also |
|
|
been involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Teen |
|
|
Advisory Board, and the French Club, and she participates in |
|
|
orchestra, dance, and theater performances; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of proud parents Delores and Kyle |
|
|
Rhynerson, this noteworthy young Texan is to be commended for her |
|
|
remarkable and extraordinary love of her state and country, and she |
|
|
is indeed deserving of special recognition for the exemplary manner |
|
|
in which she carried out her assignments in the office of |
|
|
Representative Price; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Audrey Rhynerson for her dedicated |
|
|
volunteerism in the office of State Representative Four Price 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 Audrey as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
