I am thankful for my LLC because I have made genuine close connects to people that
I can now call my closest friends. I have also been able to be more connected to my
major in psychology and have learned ways to advance toward my future career. I have
also had many activities that have gotten me more connected on campus. I wouldn’t
change this opportunity for anything else.
