Donate Blood!

I signed up a couple weeks ago to donate blood last Monday. That was my 4th time giving blood. The last 3 times I've done it was through a blood drive at my school. I was a part of Red Cross Club in high school, which is how I got involved and was able to build up the courage to donate. The first time I ever gave blood I was so nervous and didn't know what to expect. Since so many people like to give blood at my school, I had to wait at least two hours before I even actually gave blood. I was so nervous and didn't know how the process went. It's always so awkward when you have to go into the little booth to talk to them one on one about your information and then you have to take a little questionnaire about your health. When you actually give blood, it takes about 10 minutes and then you're done. I was amazed! I didn't actually know how long it would take, but I felt like it would take forever. I'm so glad I was able to give blood Monday because I love knowing that I am able to help save lives and that I am doing it for a good cause! I love to do service, and being able to participate in this was so awesome. If you are able to give blood, I recommend you should because it's such a good experience.
