R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Gabriella Gonzales graduated as valedictorian of
the 2013 senior class of Pleasanton High School, and she truly
merits special recognition for her impressive achievements; and
WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian requires not only
intellect and aptitude, but also four years of dedication to the
highest academic standards; to attain this coveted distinction, Ms.
Gonzales demonstrated a thorough understanding of a wide range of
subjects, and the rewards of the countless hours she has devoted to
her studies are myriad; and
WHEREAS, In addition to applying herself diligently to her
schoolwork, Ms. Gonzales volunteered her time with her church
congregation during a Thanksgiving dinner event and has further
assisted in food drives to benefit the homeless; she plans to
continue her education at The University of Texas with hopes of
becoming a pediatric oncologist, a goal that she was inspired to
pursue because of her younger brother, Christian, who had leukemia;
and
WHEREAS, Ms. Gonzales has earned the respect and admiration
of her teachers and classmates at Pleasanton High, and her
exceptional scholastic ability, hard work, and commitment to
excellence have opened the way to limitless opportunities for this
remarkable young Texan; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Gabriella
Gonzales, valedictorian of the Pleasanton High School Class of

she begins the next exciting chapter of her life; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Gonzales as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
