LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating 18-year-old Brooklyn native Husly
Rivera upon the occasion of graduating after 14 years of perfect attend-
ance

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and pay
tribute to those young people within the great Empire State who are true
assets to society and who serve as role models for their peers; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to congratu-
late 18-year-old Brooklyn native Husly Rivera upon the occasion of grad-
uating after 14 years of perfect attendance; and
WHEREAS, Graduating from the Academy of Urban Planning, Husly Rivera
left high school with good friends, great grades, and a record that puts
him above all the rest; in 14 years of school, more than 2,500 days
dating back to pre-kindergarten, he has not missed a single class; and
WHEREAS, Husly Rivera's reputation as an iron man of attendance earned
him a lot of attention, but his principal, Monique Darrisaw, said the
important thing was the influence Husly was having on his classmates;
and
WHEREAS, Husly Rivera is only the second student in the modern era of
the Department of Education to record perfect attendance from Kindergar-
ten through 12th Grade; after graduating from the Academy of Urban Plan-
ning, with a 94 average and ranking 3rd in his class, Husly has been
working this summer in a local furniture store and will attend John Jay
College, majoring in Criminal Justice, in the fall; and
WHEREAS, The oldest child of four, Husly Rivera is the first member of
his family to finish high school; his distinguished record merits the
recognition and respectful tribute of this Legislative Body; now, there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate 18-year-old Brooklyn native Husly Rivera upon the occasion
of graduating after 14 years of perfect attendance; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Husly Rivera.
