H.R. No. 2045
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Ruoheng Zhang has been named salutatorian of the
Class of 2009 at Sandra Day O'Connor High School in Helotes, and for
achieving this significant honor, she indeed merits special
recognition; and
WHEREAS, Earning the title of salutatorian requires not only
intellect and aptitude, but four years of dedication to the highest
academic standards; the student who garners this coveted
distinction must demonstrate a thorough understanding of a wide
range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and social
studies, yet the rewards of the countless hours of study and
preparation are myriad; and
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being
recognized as the second-highest achieving student in her class,
the salutatorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and
grants; she also gains the opportunity to address her fellow
seniors at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as
well as their hopes and ambitions for the future; and
WHEREAS, Throughout her academic career, Ruoheng Zhang has
earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and classmates at
O'Connor High School, and her exceptional scholastic ability, hard
work, and commitment to excellence have surely opened the way to
limitless opportunities for this remarkable young Texan; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Ruoheng Zhang on being named the
2009 salutatorian of Sandra Day O'Connor High School and extend to
her sincere best wishes for continued success in all her endeavors;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Zhang as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
