WHEREAS, Cristina Arriola was honored as the Del Mar College |
|
|
Paralegal Student of the Year at a ceremony held on April 27, 2017; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Making her accomplishment all the more impressive, |
|
|
Ms. Arriola has overcome a series of challenges to attain this |
|
|
accolade; after dropping out of high school in the 10th grade and |
|
|
sustaining a number of personal losses, she enrolled at Del Mar |
|

College in 2014 to obtain her GED and has since set her sights on a |
|
|
career in law; in recognition of her exemplary efforts at Del Mar, |
|
|
she was previously named the Outstanding Academic Student for her |
|
|
department; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Supported by the guidance and encouragement of her |
|
|
professors, Ms. Arriola hopes to use her legal training to make a |
|
|
meaningful difference in the lives of others; her current plans |
|
|
include earning a degree in political science at the University of |
|
|
Houston before going on to law school; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This notable Texan has demonstrated exceptional |
|
|
initiative and determination in the pursuit of her goals, and she |
|
|
may indeed reflect with pride on all that she has accomplished as |
|
|
she looks ahead to a future bright with promise; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Cristina Arriola on her selection |
|
|
as the Paralegal Student of the Year by Del Mar College and extend |
|
|
to her sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Arriola as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
