Community Awareness Workshop – The blood Drive

On October 7 i decided to do the Blood Drive for the global-Community Awareness workshop. The reason i did the blood drive was because i waited until the last minute to do this workshop category and there was only two more, this one and a movie. So instead of waiting for a movie at like 4, i just donated blood.  It was my first time donating blood so i went with a friend from high school who has done it before. It ended up being a bad idea since he just kept telling me how big the needle was and how it was supposed to hurt trying to annoy me.  First i had to fill out some long survey asking me if i ever did drugs or had blood transfusions. It asked me a whole bunch of other questions too. I answered them and gave it in to the assistant. After i waited like 45 minutes on a line they checked my blood if it had iron and if i was fit to donate. They accepted me and send me to another line. While i was on the other line i was starting to doubt if i wanted to do it, and wanted to leave. I ended up staying and they took my blood. The needle wasnt big and it didnt hurt at all. After that they gave me cookies and juice and wrapped my arm around in a bandage. They then signed my book and i went home feeling a little woozy. This was an intresting workshop because i did something that i never did anymore. I dont think i am going to donate blood again.
