How to give blood
It made me
proud 
"Definitely panicked - but in the end, realized it wasn't that bad at all, especially because it helped save lives!"
How I did it: I'd always been afraid of needles, but signed up for a blood drive at work, along with my mom. Ate a good breakfast, then did the donation. Only felt a little pinch at the beginning, but the rest was not bad at all.
Felt dizzy when I stood up, but after some gatorade and pretzels was fine!
Lessons & tips: If you're scared, go with someone you know the first time (went with my mom)
And don't look at what's going on!
Resources: Brought an iPod, which definitely helped distract me
