b"What's the BUZZ! Association Information To future recipients, Lizzie offers this thoughtful perspective: Take full advantage of the opportunity not just school but also of the experiences you will have and how blessed you are to be able to have help with the financial aspect of school. Work on your confidence and continue to remind yourself that others have just as much potential, so give others as well as yourself grace. Remember that there will be hard days and lots of challenges, but you can always grow from them especially as you overcome hardships. Just be grateful and never stop learning wherever you are or whatever you are doing. This scholarship is more than simply financial help, but it is a vote of confidence in your future that you can succeed and make a difference. So, remember to honor this vote of confidence by doing your very best at anything you are doing, stay humble, and whenever you have the opportunity, give back.
