WHEREAS, Darlene Miller of Corpus Christi graduated from |
|
|
Hardin-Simmons University as a member of the Class of 2015 at the |
|
|
age of 74, and her accomplishment is a source of inspiration to all; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A 1958 graduate of Ray High School, Ms. Miller |
|
|
previously attended college classes between 1963 and 1980, while |
|
|
working full-time as a nurse and raising three children; following |
|
|
the death of her husband in 2009, she felt called to return to |
|
|
school to prepare for the ministry, and she enrolled in the South |
|
|
Texas School of Christian Studies, which partners with |
|
|
Hardin-Simmons University to offer bachelor's degrees; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Miller took courses in such subjects as the Old |
|
|
and New Testaments and other world faiths for her major in ministry |
|
|
and minor in religion; in addition, she completed some required |
|
|
classes at Del Mar College and at Texas A&M University--Corpus |
|
|
Christi, where she also worked part-time greeting visitors; |
|
|
although she learned to use a computer in order to keep up with |
|
|
assignments, in the classroom she practiced the vanishing art of |
|
|
taking notes by hand; her study habits proved highly effective, as |
|
|
she attained a 4.0 grade point average; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through her diligence, perseverance, and commitment |
|
|
to excellence, Ms. Miller has earned the respect and admiration of |
|
|
her professors and fellow students, and it is indeed a pleasure to |
|
|
honor her as she prepares to embark on an exciting new chapter in |
|
|
her life; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Darlene Miller on her graduation |
|
|
from Hardin-Simmons University and extend to her sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Miller as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
