VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR SHARNAY VIRGIE GREEN, BURKE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING SENIOR, FOR HER EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP, AND TO CONGRATULATE HER UPON RECEIVING SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS AMOUNTING TO MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Whereas, Sharnay Virgie Green, Burke High School graduating senior and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Green, has made a name for herself as a multi-gifted high school leader who will not soon be forgotten, one who has provided an outstanding example of service to her school, church, and community; and
Whereas, the list of Sharnay's accomplishments is an extensive one. Among other activities, Sharnay has been battalion commander for the Burke High School JROTC since 2007 and presently serves as treasurer for her school's chapter of the National Honor Society. She is a member of Burke High School's student council and has been a part of the College of Charleston's Upward Bound program since 2006; and
Whereas, believing everyone should take an active part in bettering his or her community, Sharnay is an active member of her church, Lord of the Harvest Christian Faith Center, and has volunteered for a number of organizations, such as Debbie's Kids toy drive and Crisis Ministry food drive; and
Whereas, she has participated in several programs designed to foster her leadership abilities and hone her talents, among them the Cadet Officer Leadership School for Air Force JROTC at Newberry College; and
Whereas, in recognition of her hard work, Sharnay has received many honors, including the Air Force JROTC Humanitarian Aid Award, Strong Leader Academy West Point Society certificate, and Marine Corps League Low Country Detachment award for Outstanding Leadership. She was also named Class of 2009 Upward Bounder of the Year; and
Whereas, underlying her success is her firm belief in the sentiments expressed in her favorite quotation: "Can't is powerful. I am amazed at the things I accomplish simply because I do not know what I cannot do" (O'Bryant Seabrook); and
Whereas, adding further luster to Sharnay's already stellar high school career, as a senior she has won more than five hundred thousand dollars in scholarship offers to five different schools, thus breaking Burke's record for the greatest number of scholarships earned by an individual student; and
Whereas, it is with great pride that the members of the House recognize such an outstanding South Carolina student as Sharnay Virgie Green, and the members wish her much success as she launches the next phase of her academic career. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Sharnay Virgie Green, Burke High School graduating senior, for her excellence in leadership, and congratulate her upon receiving scholarship offers amounting to more than five hundred thousand dollars.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Sharnay Virgie Green.
