Whereas, in preparation for teaching, Ms. Addison earned a bachelor's degree in nursing at the University of South Carolina, followed by a master's degree in education at Columbia College and a master's degree in nursing at the University of South Alabama; and

Whereas, presently a Career and Technology Education (CATE) teacher, Ms. Addison has taught for almost nine years in Richland One; and

Whereas, her classroom provides an environment ripe for learning, where students can gain a firm educational foundation and grow in self-confidence and respect for others under the mentorship of a caring teacher; and

Whereas, the General Assembly is pleased to honor this exceptional educator, Twanda Denise Addison, and the members join with her colleagues, students, family, and friends in extending best wishes for continued success in her career. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
