H.R. No. 2357
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Brittany Winfrey has been named valedictorian of the
Class of 2009 at Evan E. Worthing High School in Houston, and for
achieving this significant honor, she indeed merits special
recognition; and
WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian 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; Ms. Winfrey is secretary of the student
council and captain of the soccer and cheerleading teams at
Worthing; she is a member of Business Professionals of America and
the National Honor Society, has taken the first place prize at the
UIL computer arts and science fair, and plans to study microbiology
at Texas A&M University; and
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being
recognized as the highest achieving student in her class, the
valedictorian 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, Brittany Winfrey
has earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and
classmates at Worthing, 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 Brittany Winfrey on being named the
2009 valedictorian at Evan E. Worthing 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. Winfrey as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Edwards
