Today, the Austin Board of REALTORS® awarded $62,500 in scholarships to an amazing group of graduating high school seniors and a few previous recipients that have done an incredible job during their first year at college. These young people work very hard to get accepted into college and do not always have the money needed to take advantage of the education. It's expensive! The ABoR Foundation does a tremendous job of interviewing and vetting all the applicants, and it is a numbing task to realize the level of achievement and hard work that these young recipients put into graduating, working, volunteering and who knows what else. They did (however) kind of lose me when they mentioned that they also tried to maintain a little bit of a social life. Congratulations to all of this years scholarship recipients, and we hope to see them all in the future being leaders in our communities.I hope (since this is about scholarships and education) that my spell check is working.
Other than that, I went to four other meetings today, it never ceases to amaze me that everything gets scheduled on the same days. Tomorrow is two meetings and teaching a NAR Ethics class at the Board.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, SCHOLARSHIPS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
