Today was my high school's annual blood drive and it went great! 

I spent the entire school day volunteering with my General Medicine class at the blood drive, helping the staff get donors in and out, registering donors, feeding donors after they gave blood, and helping the ones who fainted and got sick. It was so awesome!

Unfortunatly I couldn't give blood ;;;; because I have too low iron levels but next year hopefully!

By giving blood (they take exactly one pint) it saves three other lives! How great is that?! It was so easy; we had 267 donors show up today to give blood. In order to give, you have to be at least sixteen with parental consent and weigh at least 110lbs. Then they do a little physical to make sure you're eligible to give (there are certain situations where you won't be able to) and then they'll send you to get your blood drawn. I've done it before and it doesn't hurt at all, I promise you! Try it one day; you'll save lives!
