It made me
Scared and Amazed!
 "My son was dying of heart failure when I brought him to America, but he has a chance at a future now."
How I did it: When my husband and I set out to adopt we wanted a baby girl. We found out she had a sister, and adopted her as well. Lessons & tips: Never be afraid to make the most of your life, and to say yes. The most amazing things happen when you do. You only get one life...there are no do-overs.

I naturally love helping people. At times it goes far beyond helping someone eat or find a job or even through a rough part in life.
TO save someone’s life often means you are either putting their needs before yours or sometimes even putting their life first.
I have saved many lives different ways. Some were suicidal, some had cancer or tumors, some were in immediate danger, swimming, fires, gang members, and more…
As long as I am here, I hope to help people.

Save a life

I’d like to save someone’s life to sort of validate my own, I don’t care who’s life it is or how daring me saving their life is but I’d like to save as many lives as I possibly can. Not that I’d like people to constantly be in peril around me but if someone is in trouble I’d like to think I can help.

I found this to be a humbling experience. I felt that I was just the instrument and I was not the main person who was responsible. I am really glad that my friend is still alive.

I think saving a life is rather tricky word , is saving a life like in tv when someone pulls the other away from the train rail or what
its actually hard to define when you actually save a life
is it a thing that can be achieved or its a thing that you reach in your head ?

For right now I’m going to focus on trying to donate blood more often. My school typically hosts a blood drive each semester, but I’ve only given twice.
Sometime in the future I’d like to do more, such as donate blood marrow or an organ. I also want to take first aid classes and become CPR certified so I can be genuinely helpful in an emergency.
