H.R. No. 713 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Kaitlyn Jankovsky, a senior at Woodsboro High | ||
School, has distinguished herself through her impressive record of | ||
achievement and commitment to helping others; and | ||
WHEREAS, In August 2014, Ms. Jankovsky was diagnosed with | ||
acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and she finished her final round of | ||
chemotherapy on November 10, 2016; despite her medical challenges, | ||
this outstanding young Texan has remained involved in | ||
extracurricular activities throughout her high school career; she | ||
has served as a manager for various athletic teams, and she has been | ||
active with the National Honor Society; as part of the | ||
organization, she joined with other NHS students to facilitate a | ||
"lily pad" project that involved creating wooden attachments for IV | ||
poles to allow hospitalized children to move about more freely; and | ||
WHEREAS, An inspiring role model, Ms. Jankovsky regularly | ||
speaks to other children who have been recently diagnosed with | ||
cancer; she also continues to advocate for research that could | ||
potentially save the lives of young patients like herself, and she | ||
has raised a total of $21,000 to support those efforts; after | ||
graduating, she plans to enroll at Victoria Community College, and | ||
she hopes to one day work as a child life specialist at Driscoll | ||
Children's Hospital, where she received treatment; in all of her | ||
endeavors, she enjoys the support of her loving parents, Richard | ||
and Joann Jankovsky; and | ||
WHEREAS, Looking forward to a future bright with promise, | ||
Kaitlyn Jankovsky may indeed reflect with pride on the perseverance | ||
and initiative she has demonstrated in pursuit of her goals; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Kaitlyn Jankovsky for her many | ||
accomplishments and extend to her sincere best wishes as 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. Jankovsky as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
