Why are you interested in becoming an apprentice?

Here are reasons why people want to be apprentice mostly (and why I do):

1. Firepaw, from the original series (now called Fireheart/star), was an apprentice.

2. Almost all of the books have the prophecy cats apprentices.

3. Apprentices are young; the person would have a cat with a long life ahead of them. It's not too young or too old. Of course, new warriors are young, but they'll have a shorter life to live in their Clan.

4. Training. You get to feel more like a warrior cat. All warriors/medicine cats go though training first. As apprentices, you'll know your Clan better because you'll look after them, you'll know all the fighting techniques (even medicine cats), and you'll know sorta the feeling of being one by going on patrols (even medicine cats. They'll be gathering herbs, but still). You'll feel the feeling an apprentice felt when they were made a warrior/medicine cat.
