So today there was a blood drive on my way home from school, so I decided to stop by and give blood. I had to keep my eyes closed the whole time, because even looking at blood makes me nervous. All in all, it took me about a half hour for the whole process. A half an hour to save someone's life. They say for every person who donates blood they can save 3 lives! Also, there has to be 56 days between each time you give blood, so that is about 6 times a year. That is 18 lives saved in a year. Pretty impressive. I just think about how lucky we are to be able to give blood. I feel bad for all of the times I could have given blood but didn't because I was too scared. GIVE BLOOD!!
