English term or phrase: prefer

As an eighth grader, I first realized that I was able to make a difference. As early as I can remember, I wanted to help disadvantaged people, those in need, those not able to enjoy the advantages of modern life. When I became president of the student government of my school, I realized that I became a force of change and had an opportunity to set an example by serving the community. Under my leadership, we raised more than $10,000 for "Make a Wish Foundation" and various charities that help children in need. My mission was to encourage respect for diversity and establish a sense of fairness. Homogeneity, I believed, was fine in a bottle of milk, but in real life it diminished curiosity and limited the horizons of personal development.

Мирону: перевагу надають КОМУСЬ ПЕРЕД КИМОСЬ (напр., інвалідам перед ветеранами). Кли ж ідеться про власні преференції, то перевагу ВІДДАЮТЬ (пропонували сендвіч, але я віддав перевагу паляниці з ковбасою). Гадаю, в жодному контексті prefer не може означати \"надавати перевагу\".

Та все ж без контексту працювати невигідно: багато йде бензину, а результат непередбачуваний. Я уявляю контекст, де дужу підійшло б слово \"полюбляти\". Або зовсім інше рішення, без прямого перекладу prefer.
