H.R. No. 2261
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Our esteemed colleague, the Honorable Norma Chavez,
is marking an important milestone in her life on May 22, 2009, when
she graduates from The University of Texas at Austin; and
WHEREAS, This accomplishment comes as a result of the
determined resolve that Representative Chavez has shown in
completing her undergraduate education and the hard work she has
put in to make that dream a reality; and
WHEREAS, She had initially attended college beginning in 1978
but suspended her studies at UT in 1983; Ms. Chavez went on to prove
her abilities in many endeavors, including her distinguished
service in the Texas House of Representatives since 1997, but she
has remained dedicated to completing her degree; and
WHEREAS, In the fall of 2006, Representative Chavez resumed
her coursework at UT, balancing her studies with her many other
responsibilities as a public servant and businessperson; now,
nearly three years later, she is realizing her goal of becoming a
college graduate as she receives a bachelor of arts degree in
government; and
WHEREAS, The perseverance that Norma Chavez has exhibited in
earning her degree makes her an admirable role model for others who
aspire to further their educations, and she may take justifiable
pride in becoming a member of the Class of 2009 at UT; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Representative Norma Chavez on her
graduation from The University of Texas at Austin and commend her on
her new status as a proud Texas Ex.
