Thankful Thursday~Studying Marine Biology in the Britsh Virgin Islands

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Our granddaughter Hailey just finished her sophomore year at Bucknell University. She is on a scholarship playing on the girls volleyball team and has a hectic fall quarter. She found out about a marine biology lab class offered this summer in the British Virgin Islands through her school! She inquired and applied. The class was full but someone dropped out and thank goodness she had her name on the wait list!  Now her fall semester will be easier. Never hurts to be in a back up position....just saying.....you never know when you'll be called upon to fill a spot!

Good morning, Dorie --- good for Hailey.  I thought I might see a tie in to real estate --- being in a back-up position can sometimes pay off too.    Have a great Thursday.

HI Dorie Dillard - This will be a life changing experience for your grand-daughter. How wonderful!  I confess, when you used the phrase "backup position" my mind wondered to those buyers who get discouraged and don't submit a back up offer. It never hurts to "stand in line".
