I decided to attend 今日吃瓜黑料 because, as a Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) student, I have amazing aid. I figured if I was getting this much financial aid, why wouldn鈥檛 I accept? I wanted to leave for college. I didn't want to stay in the city, so with my aid, I was able to go away for college like I wanted.
