involved painting a mural on a playground wall at his church; and |
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the |
|
respect and admiration of the fellow members of his troop through |
|
his service as patrol leader and assistant senior patrol leader and |
|
as a member of the Order of the Arrow; and |
|
WHEREAS, A freshman at McKinney High School, Mr. Kerekgyarto |
|
is a member of the school's Criminal Justice Club, which |
|
participates in University Interscholastic League competitions and |
|
provides additional security at school functions; he also |
|
participates in Junior ROTC and is active at his place of worship, |
|
where he regularly assists with children's church; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Kerekgyarto's dedication to excellence |
|
and his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him |
|
worthy to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect |
|
with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Nicholas Kerekgyarto on achieving |
|
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|

|
prepared for Eagle Scout Kerekgyarto as an expression of high |
|
