	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Elsie Chen has been named valedictorian of the Class
	of 2017 at Sharpstown International School in Houston, and she
	indeed merits special recognition for receiving this significant
	honor; and
	WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian requires not only
	intellect and aptitude but also four years of dedication to the
	highest academic standards; in securing her place as the
	top-ranking student in her class, Ms. Chen demonstrated a thorough
	understanding of a wide range of subjects, and her attainment of
	this coveted distinction is the crowning achievement of a notable
	high school career; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Chen has successfully balanced a challenging
	academic course load with a number of extracurricular activities,
	including her performances with the school's wind ensemble and her
	involvement with the student council and The Woods Project; in her
	free time, she enjoys playing billiards and Tetris and singing
	karaoke; after graduation, she plans to pursue a degree in
	neurobiology at Washington University; and
	WHEREAS, During her years at Sharpstown International
	School, Elsie Chen has earned the respect and admiration of her
	teachers and classmates, and her exceptional scholastic ability and
	commitment to excellence have opened the way to a bright and
	promising future for this outstanding young Texan; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Elsie Chen, valedictorian of the
	Sharpstown International School Class of 2017, and extend to her
	sincere best wishes for continued success as she begins the next
	exciting chapter of her life; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Chen as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
