Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished Scholar in the
performing and fine arts category; and
WHEREAS, The Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished
Scholars program was established to reward local students who have

selected for this prestigious honor, and each of the 2016 winners
received a $1,000 scholarship to help fund their college studies;

competitions as the Coastal Bend Cheer and Dance Challenge and the
Danceline USA contest; despite a demanding academic schedule that
includes AP and dual-credit classes, she holds a 4.9 grade point
average and ranks 21st in her class of 263 students; she also
powerlifts, runs track and cross-country, and teaches dance to
young people with Down syndrome; after graduation, she plans to
study nursing or physical therapy in college; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding young Texan has pursued her goals
with tremendous dedication, and she may take great pride in all that
she has accomplished as she looks ahead to a future bright with
promise; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Annie Tran on her selection as a
2016 Corpus Christi Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished
Scholar and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
