| H.R. No. 768 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Kenwoo Kim, a Lewisville High School student, was | ||
| named the state champion in the 2014-15 American Legion Oratorical | ||
| Contest at an event held in Brenham on February 16, 2015; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since 1938, the American Legion Oratorical Contest | ||
| has encouraged high school students to develop a deeper knowledge | ||
| and appreciation for the United States Constitution; by taking part | ||
| in an academic speaking challenge, participants learn about the | ||
| origins of our laws and about the rights, privileges, and | ||
| responsibilities that are fundamental to American citizenship, and | ||
| the experience also fosters the development of skills in leadership | ||
| and public speaking; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Kim advanced to the state-level challenge after | ||
| taking top honors in his district, and his most recent victory | ||
| qualifies him to take part in the national championship in | ||
| Indianapolis in April; he has benefited from the support and | ||
| mentorship of his coaches, Sally Squibb and Liana Massengale, who | ||
| have accompanied him during the competition; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through his remarkable showing, Kenwoo Kim has | ||
| distinguished himself as a young man of impressive intellect, | ||
| ability, and dedication, and he may indeed look forward to a bright | ||
| and rewarding future; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Kenwoo Kim on his exceptional | ||
| achievement in the 2014-15 American Legion Oratorical Contest and | ||
| extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Kim as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
