Undergraduate / "the neurology department in the local hospital" - common app paragraph [4]

I fixed it multiple times but it still is not within the word limit. (150 words or 1000 characters less)

Could someone edit it??

Going up to the neurology department in the local hospital and checking on every patient on the floor compose of my Sundays. Volunteering at the neurology department fulfills my desire of exploring the medical field and strengths my notion of becoming a neurosurgeon; it also creates the sense of belonging. As an outcast from a foreign country, volunteering makes me feel worthy and experience the family moments which are not as accessible since I moved to Canada. When I talk to patients to make them feel comfortable, somehow in the conversations, their caring and blessing lessen my nostalgia toward my family in Taiwan. The patients I visit are also mentors of life. They strengthen me by sharing their life experiences and their positive attitude. Looking into their vulnerable yet strong; innocent yet wise eyes, I realize that life is a beautiful challenge. Old, ill, and death are evitable. However, love and compassion bring people together overcome the challenges.
