First Blood

Well,have any of you all donated blood before?

For your information,blood donation is a process of
mutualism.
The loss of blood in your body will increase the production of new blood cells which thus also enhances your body metabolism.While the blood donated might save life of others.It is a good practice actually.

For me
,i am eager to give out my first blood........yet in vain.
Lately,i tried again,and i failed for the second time.=(

Well,the first time was at a camp.I was sooooo spirited to donate my blood as i never tried before ,so i wanted to experience my first donation.And i was also given the green light by my parents.The day came.Oh God,so excited!I registered and then undergone a few processes of checkup.Only via the checkup,then i know that my blood type is B.Well,i can be considered as quite lucky,as some of my friends cant pass the checkup as some dont have enough haemoglobin or low in blood pressure.At last,hoho my turn.The medical worker looked through my form,"erm..ok......yea...fine.......normal........eh!......so sorry you cant donate......."Why????!!!

The answer wass i had a cough that day......ARGHH!!!I persuaded him to let me have a try.He answered in a very calm tone,"you know?it takes half an hour for the ambulance to arrive if there is anything happened on you"
So the unlucky poor boy went away in a dispirited mood.......

Actually ,i fulfilled ALL the criterion,o well except one....
1.i was a volunteer
2.i got the permission.
3.i have enough haemoglobin...normal in blood pressure.... exceeds 50kg ....etc..etc..etc...(in conclusion,i
am a healthy young lad)
Well, because of my cough that morning....well actually it was just a minor one....
I should have blamed myself for ticking the box(cough ..Yes...NO)
o,it was a safety measure after all.I dont want it to be my last blood instead of the first .

I am a boy that possesses moral courage.I will keep on trying though it is painful...
I went for the blood donation campaign by the Tzu Chi Buddhist Association during my second try.The incident was quite interesting...i brought my mum along as she wanted to donate too.
First step: Show your ic!(Ops ,mine was at home.)The voluntary worker was shocked,i could tell by
observing her countenance.Well,if you didnt bring your ic along,you will be jailed.Luckily the
other worker allowed me to pass the first step.
Second Step:Date of Birth!So i continued filling the form.

"Hey ,wait a minute,you arent 18 yet.....so i m afraid that you cant continue with it ... bye then.." NOOOOOOOOOO!!!Again!!

I have already well prepared for it.And again I was disappointed.....=(

Only now,i know that being 18 will be so fun.

So,for those who have already fulfill all the criterion above..please kindly offer you blood to the needing ones.

The benefit of doing such a good deed is greater than you can imagine.
Your blood might continue the life of others .It is a great blessing to those who needs and also to those who offers.

So,ACT now !

# By the way,later the voluntary worker gave me a brochure.It is about
ORGAN DONATION. Dont worry, everyone can donate despite of their age.So interested in? ^^
