How to donate blood
It made me
feel helpful 
How I did it: My high school donates blood twice every year. I was finally old enough and after turning in my application and waiting six months to do so, I finally, in January donated blood.
I'm not afraid of needles and have a pretty high tolerance to pain, so i was pretty exhilarated to donate. I don't know why I've always felt excited to donate blood, but since it's such a great service i'm doing i dont really mind.
I got on the bus and they stuck me with the needle. They taped my tube to my arm; it's so strange to feel the warmth of your blood outside your body! I squeezed a stress ball and after about 5 minutes i was done! I felt very helpful and happy that perhaps someone, someday, will use my blood to help keep them alive :]
Lessons & tips: be sure to rest before getting up! Those snacks are to raise your blood sugar and if you get up and walk when you arent ready you will feel woozy :[
