H.R. No. 3141
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Mariela Cervantes has been named valedictorian of
the Class of 2009 at Kimball High School in Dallas 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; 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, Mariela Cervantes
has earned the respect and admiration of her teachers and
classmates at Kimball High School, 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 Mariela Cervantes on being named
the 2009 valedictorian at Kimball High School and extend to her
sincere best wishes for continued success in all her endeavors.
