Donating blood is so crucial and you can do such a wonderful thing for someone else. You could save a life, that's pretty incredible if you think about it. When donating blood, I get nervous. I'm not sure why, it doesn't hurt. It's easy and usually you get a donut or orange juice. It's always a great feeling knowing you are helping someone.
