WHEREAS, Jon English and Joey Morales have formed an
outstanding team as members of the Buda Buddies mentorship program
at Buda Elementary School, and as Joey moves on to junior high
school, it is indeed fitting that the four years of camaraderie they
have enjoyed together be recognized; and
WHEREAS, Joey Morales was just seven years old and in the
second grade when he and Mr. English became Buda Buddies; during
their first year in the program, they played computer games during
every visit, and then moved on to basketball, football, and soccer;
Mr. English has watched with great pride as his buddy has grown and
matured from a rambunctious child into an accomplished young man
who is an admired leader on campus and who excels in his indoor
soccer league and demonstrates tremendous team spirit; too small to
hit the regulation basketball hoop when they first met, Joey now
outscores Mr. English from behind the three-point line; and
WHEREAS, In addition, Joey recently broadened his artistic
horizons through participation in the school play, a production
based on the Boston Tea Party; he gave a riveting, nuanced
performance as the sea captain whose ship is boarded forcibly by
angry colonists; moreover, Joey has demonstrated exceptional
ability in mathematics, and his talent in that discipline will
surely serve him well as he continues his education and eventually
embarks on an interesting and rewarding career; and
WHEREAS, Although their time in the Buda Buddies program has
come to an end, Jon English will forever treasure his experience as
a mentor to Joey Morales, and we are pleased to join him in
congratulating this remarkable young Texan on his many noteworthy
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the four happy years that Jon
English and Joey Morales have spent together in the Buda Elementary
School Buda Buddies program and extend to them both sincere best
wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Morales and Mr. English as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
