Tomorrow and Wednesday is the blood drive at school, and you should all take part in it! So what, I am deathly afraid of needles too but this is going to be the fourth time I do it, I'm still alive aren't I? Donating blood is such a nice thing to do. We have more than enough and it takes no more than 3 minutes to save four lives. I have always been scared of needles. I cry everytime I get a shot at the doctors, but last year the blood center representatives said this one thing that made me felt guilty if I didn't donate blood. Somebody in my class said "But I'm so scared! I hate needles!" The representative answered with an answer that will hopefully make you think about donating blood. "Big deal! You're scared because you hate needles and you're scared that it is going to hurt a little for 2 seconds, well how would you feel if you were one of these people that need blood and are scared everyday because they don't know if they are going to have another day to live, these people depend on people like all of you to donate blood they don't have." Right after that I signed up and I was so scared before doing it, I almost cried and told the lady if I couldn't cut the line and do it right away I was going to change my mind, so she let me and I found out it is not bad at all! It feels like a pinch and that's it, I saved 12 lives so far from donating every four months and I feel so good about myself after doing it, not to mention the cool shirts! :) I think everybody should take part in this and save 4 lives at a time!

Yay!! You saved 12 lives, I'm really proud of you, not everyone has the guts to let someone poke them with a needle. But most of all I'm especially proud at the fact that you didn’t t let your emotions get the best of you that's pretty awesome.
I too am a blood donor not to mention a hair donor, I feel is the least I can do (at least for now). The feeling you get on helping others can’t beat any other feeling so I think that’s the best part.
