	significant honor, she 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 her success in the classroom,
	Ms. Falcon participated in band and in the Starr County Youth
	Coalition, and she generously volunteered throughout the
	community; she focused much of her effort on events that involved
	children, including the Special Olympics and the Winter Wonderland
	and Snow Festival, as she hopes to one day pursue a career as a
	pediatrician; she also assisted at the Starr County Fair first aid
	station and at local clinics and hospitals; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Falcon plans to study biology at The University
	of Texas at Austin and then to continue her education in graduate
	and medical school; and
	WHEREAS, Jacqueline Falcon earned the respect and admiration
	of her teachers and classmates at Grulla High, and her exceptional
	scholastic ability, hard work, and commitment to excellence have
	surely opened the way to limitless opportunities for this
	remarkable young Texan; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jacqueline
	Falcon, valedictorian of the Grulla High School Class of 2013, and
	extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Falcon as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
