Today, as many know, college books are fairly expensive. Receiving the LLBC scholarship helped me pay for that Biology book that will help me throughout my undergraduate and medical school education. Many people may say, “That scholarship benefitted you by helping you buy one book?” The answer would be yes. To begin and achieve any goal you must start somewhere.
