I met the criteria and applied to be an apprentice for our Keller Williams ALC - the agent leadership council of our office.  Debbie interviewed me and I enjoyed contemplating what I might have to offer.  I hope to be able to offer something - I do occasionally have a good idea.  :-)  Maybe I'll be a good "boomer" age group apprentice.

Debbie pulled me aside before I left for San Antonio and let me know that I'd be one of two new apprentices.  Yea!  It doesn't pay anything but I'm pleased to take a more active role in our office.  I will attend a 'launch' training with the other ALC and apprentices, the broker, team leader and owners in Austin this June.  I'm looking forward to that. 

When I stopped by the office last week I found a certificate on my desk.  I was totally surprised to find I was Rookie of the Year for 2008 for Lubbock's Keller Williams office.  I have loved my first year and a half in real estate. I need to frame that to go with my GRI certificate. 

Oh...by the way, I graduated, passed my test, and am now a Graduate, Realtor Institute.

What an exciting couple of weeks!
