H.R. No. 2503
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Irving Arredondo has been named valedictorian of the
Class of 2009 at South San Antonio High School, and for achieving
this significant honor, he 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; and
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being
recognized as the highest achieving student in his class, the
valedictorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and
grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors
at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as
their hopes and ambitions for the future; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his academic career, Irving Arredondo
has earned the respect and admiration of his teachers and
classmates at South San Antonio, and his exceptional scholastic
ability, hard work, and commitment to excellence have surely opened
the way to limitless opportunities for this notable young Texan;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Irving Arredondo on being named the
2009 valedictorian at South San Antonio High School and extend to
him sincere best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Arredondo as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
