For years I 1． (ask) why I volunteer, and my answer remains the same. I volunteer because it makes 2． difference.

Growing up in Hawaii, I saw Dad taking my family downtown to pass out cheeseburgers to the 3． (home), and my passion grew from there. Over the years, I placed my focus 4． food insecurity and that led me to found the first food pantry (食物分发处) on the campus of Indiana University. I will never forget the day when I opened the pantry. A student walked in the door and he said, “I was in class with you 5． (early). Thank you for doing this because I was trying to figure out what I was going to eat this week.” The food pantry 6． (actual) helped many a student on the campus, 7．, for some reason, had difficulty 8． (get) everyday meals. Those who got food from there came back to support our food pantry, making it a place to pass on kindness.

That was two and a half years ago, but 9． (moment) like those stick with me to this very day. Since graduating, I now volunteer with different homeless shelters in Indianapolis, and I will continue to make 10． (me) available as long as there is someone in need.
