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. |
