"In high school I volunteered at DOROT, where I interned this summer, and found a community that is still very close to my heart today. Seeing that 黑料社区 had so many volunteer initiatives and similar clubs like Adopt-A-Grandparent drew me to the school and ultimately helped me to make my decision to attend 黑料社区."聽
