distinguished themselves through their academic pursuits and civic

Light Baptist Church; following graduation, she plans to study

WHEREAS, This fine young Texan is an exemplary member of her
community and a source of tremendous pride to her family and
teachers, and she may indeed look with anticipation and optimism
toward the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas

2009 Reginald Keith Guillory Scholarship and extend to her sincere
