In my many quests to fulfill my Freshman Seminar Requirements, I decided to donate blood for the sake of others. Though I am naturally altruistic as well as attractive, I had never donated blood before and was wondering what the process would be like. I filled out my forms like any other and waited on line, as I waited a sense of boredom overcame me, but it quickly subsided. Then I laid down as I donated my blood, which took only 10 minutes because I am amazing. At this point I reached a conundrum, who would sign my Global awareness requirement? The nurses could not and I did not know who would be able to. Then I heard a voice, not unlike gods, call out to me “I will do it”. Next to me stood a man, nay an Adonis amongst men, who signed my passport as if it was nothing. I stared in awe at this figiure and though I knew the answer, I could not help but ask who he was. “My name is Carl Ayelman” responded the man with a smile “I’m the guy who sends out all those emails”. I was in shock, all my guesses were right, Carl Ayelman stood before me, perhaps on break from Mt. Olympus, and was speaking to me. “Ah, I know you, you have the same name as me” I responded and then I left, knowing that this was just one of many adventures I would have.
The blood drive was also great overall, my personal favorite out of all of them, community involvement is probably the way to go and should be done with more workshops. I have no complaints at all, everyone was professional and up to task.
