WHEREAS, Celeste Alvarez has been named salutatorian of the
Class of 2009 at Southside High School in San Antonio, 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 one of the highest achieving students 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, Celeste Alvarez has
earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and classmates at
Southside, and her exceptional scholastic ability, hard work, and
commitment to excellence have surely opened the way to limitless
opportunities for this noteworthy young Texan; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Celeste Alvarez on being named the
2009 salutatorian at Southside High School and extend to her
sincere best wishes for continued success in all her endeavors;
and, be it further
