A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending Alan Bentsen; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Alan Bentsen of North Gwinnett High School was honored as the school's 2007
Technology Student of the Year in honor of his spectacular work in the field of
video production; and
WHEREAS,
throughout the school year Alan completed a number of impressive video projects,
including the '06 Senior Memories DVD, the '06 Football Highlights, the
Technology Education Department's Informational DVD, the Mr. Winterfest Contest
DVD, and the Peer Leaders Informational DVD; and
WHEREAS,
under the watchful guidance of the North Gwinnett technology instructor, Robert
Culpepper, Alan worked diligently to compile and thoroughly edit each project,
sacrificing copious amounts of his free time to ensure the quality of his work;
and
WHEREAS,
the '06 Football Highlights videos were especially challenging, since Alan
sorted through footage of each game in order to select the best plays,
considered the angle from which the picture was shot, added special effects, and
cut each segment to accompanying music; and
WHEREAS,
his videos achieved such a professional look that parents who observed them
displayed on the matrix board at football games had difficulty believing that a
student had made them rather than a professional; and
WHEREAS,
although it was clear that his work had captured the imagination of teachers and
classmates throughout North Gwinnett High School, Alan maintained an attitude of
profound humility and gratitude, and his Senior Memories DVD will undoubtedly
become the cherished possession of North Gwinnett alumni for years to come;
and
WHEREAS,
on February 27, 2007, Alan was recognized as a Technical Education Award winner
at the 2007 Gwinnett Tech Prep Consortium at Gwinnett Technical College;
and
WHEREAS,
Alan has proven himself to be a rare type of individual, one possessed of an
extraordinary passion and force of will, and has brought honor to his school,
Gwinnett County, and the State of Georgia.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body recognize this talented young Georgian, Alan Bentsen; commend him for
his dedicated and skillful achievements in the field of video production; and
extend to him their sincerest best wishes for his future success and
fulfillment.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Alan Bentsen.
