H.R. No. 1945

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Caroline Goodnight, a sophomore at Midway High
School in Waco, is providing a positive example for others through
her achievements as a candidate for the Congressional Award; and
WHEREAS, The award was established in 1979 to recognize teens
and young adults who challenge themselves while gaining life skills
that are necessary for future success; applicants are required to
set and attain goals in the areas of volunteer service, physical
fitness, and personal development and to plan and carry out a
project that tests their self-reliance and ability to adapt to an
unfamiliar situation; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Goodnight is a two-time recipient of the Spirit
of Midway Award, which honors students who complete 15 hours of
community service in addition to participating in extracurricular
activities; before setting her sights on the Congressional Award,
she attended mission trips with her church and volunteered for a
number of 5K races; and
WHEREAS, This well-rounded young Texan is a member of the
cross-country team at Midway, and her interest in running has led
her to take part in several marathons, an activity she plans to
continue as she satisfies the award's athletic requirements;
moreover, she has committed to venturing out on a cycling trip in
Palo Duro Canyon for her "expedition or exploration" project; and
WHEREAS, Caroline Goodnight has proven herself to possess the
talent, ambition, and determination that are shared by some of our
nation's most promising young people, and she is acquiring valuable
experience that will serve her well in the years to come; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Caroline Goodnight for her volunteer
work and many accomplishments and extend to her sincere best wishes
for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Goodnight as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Anderson of McLennan
