New York Blood Drive

I'm laying on the cot, fist pumping as my blood filters out to save some lives today. I'm always overcome with joy as our school still holds the lead for #1 school donator site!! My heart fills every time I see one of my students get escorted in. I always offer bonus points to students that donate, and I had a kid walk up and say, "Miss, you don't have to give me bonus points, it's nothing to give a little of myself to save someone else." If I wasn't plugged in, I would have jumped up and hugged him!

Yes, people it takes a few moments of your time to save up to 3 lives...Go out and save a life today!!

That is so awesome. I haven't donated blood in several years. I need to look into doing it again. And that kid who said he didn't need the points sounds so sweet.

@Ms. U-It definitely is a reward within itself!

This is a good reminder... Me and Thea (wife) usually do one community service act monthly. I think we'll put together a local blood drive in a couple months. If we decide to do that I'll update you.
