WHEREAS, Matthew Clemens has been named valedictorian of the |
|
Class of 2013 at Dumas High School, and for achieving this |
|
significant honor, he indeed merits special recognition; and |
|
WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian requires not only |
|
intellect and aptitude, but also four years of dedication to the |
|
highest academic standards; the student who garners this coveted |
|
distinction must demonstrate a thorough understanding of a wide |
|
range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and social |
|
studies, yet the rewards of the countless hours of study and |
|
preparation are myriad; and |
|
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being |
|
recognized as the highest achieving student in his class, the |
|
valedictorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and |
|
grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors |
|
at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as on |
|
their hopes and ambitions for the future; and |
|
WHEREAS, The son of proud parents David and Karen Clemens, |
|
Matthew Clemens has earned the respect and admiration of his |
|
teachers and classmates at Dumas High School, and his exceptional |
|
scholastic ability, hard work, and commitment to excellence have |
|
surely opened the way to limitless opportunities for this |
|
outstanding young Texan; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Matthew |
|
Clemens, valedictorian of the Dumas High School Class of 2013, and |
|
extend sincere best wishes for continued success in all his |
|
endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Matthew Clemens as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
