R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Dara Eng has been named salutatorian of the Class of
2009 at Evan E. Worthing Senior High School in Houston, 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; Ms. Eng has served as president of the
National Honor Society and as captain of her school's varsity
softball team, and she has also distinguished herself in University
Interscholastic League history and accounting competitions; long
interested in our nation's armed forces, she plans to join the
United States Marine Corps; 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, Dara Eng has earned
the respect and admiration of her teachers and classmates at
Worthing Senior High, 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 Dara Eng on being named
salutatorian of the Evan E. Worthing Senior High School Class of
2009 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. Eng as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
