H.R. No. 2385
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, During the 82nd Legislative Session, Joshua Santo
has ably served his fellow Texans as an intern in the office of
State Representative Debbie Riddle; and
WHEREAS, Understated yet confident, Mr. Santo has given every
visitor to the office his full attention, disarming even those of
the unhappy persuasion with his firm handshake and his friendly,
welcoming manner; within the office, he has similarly impressed his
peers with his rapid mastery of each additional task he has taken
on, his sponge-like absorption of new information, and his
insatiable appetite for learning; despite holding another
full-time job, he often arrived to his shift early and stayed late
and consequently managed to perform much more than his share of the
workload, making his coworkers marvel at the prospect of just how
hard he must work at the job that actually pays him for his
contributions; in fact, Mr. Santo's productivity was the subject of
much debate within the office as few could understand how he could
seamlessly perform his duties so unfettered by the siren call of
StumbleUpon.com; and
WHEREAS, During his tenure under the dome, Mr. Santo has
gained valuable insight into the legislative process and broadened
his understanding of the vital issues facing citizens of the state
today; along the way, he also learned that tennis shoes do not
complete a suit and how to dimple a tie, which, in certain circles,
is akin to gaining a lieutenant's stripes; and
WHEREAS, Notwithstanding his haphazard approach to hair care
and his on-again-off-again relationship with his razor, Mr. Santo
has delivered an over-the-top performance this session befitting
his status as an advanced student of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and all
who have had the pleasure of getting to know this accomplished
Hilltopper are certain he will go far in this world and look forward
to watching as his promising future unfolds; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commend Joshua Santo for his exemplary service
as a legislative intern in the office of State Representative
Debbie Riddle and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
success and happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Santo as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Riddle
