A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR SYDNEY SILL FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL POISE, TALENT, AND BEAUTY AND TO CONGRATULATE HER FOR BEING NAMED MISS SOUTH CAROLINA TEEN FOR 2012.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Sydney Sill was crowned the 2012 Miss South Carolina Teen; and
Whereas, a resident of Duncan and the daughter of Phillip and Gina Sill, the new Miss South Carolina Teen received a $5,000 scholarship at the 2012 Miss South Carolina Teen Pageant in July, competing as Miss Greater Greer Teen; and
Whereas, the 16-year-old junior honor student at James F. Byrnes High School is the class secretary and a member of the National Junior Beta Club. She was honored with the Presidential volunteer service award and the Duke of Edinburgh bronze award; and
Whereas, in the pageant in Columbia, Sydney was named the preliminary and the overall evening-wear/on-stage-question winner, and for the talent portion of the competition, she performed a tap dance choreographed to "Baby I'm a Star"; and
Whereas, because she underwent major spinal surgery to correct her condition of scoliosis only four years ago, her poise and success at the pageant are all the more remarkable, but she believes her determination and perseverance have made her a stronger dancer and person; and
Whereas, Sydney will promote overcoming obstacles as a platform issue throughout the Palmetto State during her year of service, and she will serve as an ambassador for the Shriner's Hospital in Greenville; and
Whereas, the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization is a scholarship-based program offering accomplished young women between the ages of 13 and 24 the opportunity to be awarded funds for college. In 2012, the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization made over $11 million in scholarship assistance available to contestants; and
Whereas, the program promotes scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living, and community involvement for young women; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the outstanding role model that Sydney Sill offers as Miss South Carolina Teen 2012 and her dedication that has enabled her to overcome adversity, and the members look to hear of her continued accomplishments in the future. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Sydney Sill for her exceptional poise, talent, and beauty and congratulate her for being named Miss South Carolina Teen for 2012.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Sydney Sill.
