8	8	long-standing bonds of friendship between their nation and the
9	9	State of Texas; and
10	10	WHEREAS, Just as young Texans benefit by spending time
11	11	abroad, foreign students gain valuable insights into the history
12	12	and culture of the Lone Star State by enjoying the hospitality of
13	13	their host families and their Texan classmates; and
14	14	WHEREAS, The bridges of understanding that are built during
15	15	these exchanges play a vital role in helping the next generation of
16	16	leaders broaden their minds through daily experience of another
17	17	culture; and
18	18	WHEREAS, A 17-year-old from the city of Landshut, Germany,

22	22	track at Burleson; and
23	23	WHEREAS, This talented and outgoing young woman has adapted
24	24	admirably well to the extremes of Texas weather, and she has

26	26	"y'all"; and
27	27	WHEREAS, The visit to Austin of Ms. Hofmann and her mother
28	28	provides a fine opportunity to celebrate the intellectual curiosity
29	29	and spirit of adventure of all exchange students, and it is indeed a
30	30	pleasure to welcome them both to the State Capitol; now, therefore,
31	31	be it
32	32	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
33	33	Legislature hereby offer a warm Texas welcome to Annika and Anita
